we are used to solid-state electronics controlling our machines for quite a while. It makes them cheaper, more reliable, and smarter. But what would happen if mechanics would control electronics? instead, a microprocessor controlling a motor which moves hands and showing the time, in this case, it's a pure mechanism that controls LEDs via a microprocessor. The clock is equipped with 2 electromagnets that push the pendulum in sync. the movement of the pendulum is sensed by a microprocessor which in turn, translates it into time This clock is a philosophical argument, more than a clock. It's a discussion about the relationship between software and hardware. microprocessors and electromagnets. between tangible and virtual.
