Humans since 1982
Founded by Per Emanuelsson and Bastian Bischo, Humans since 1982 is a pioneering
creative studio responsible for a host of mesmerising and playful kinetic works, shown
to critical acclaim at eminent venues including the Saatchi Gallery, London and Cooper
Hewitt Museum, New York. The pair were later joined by engineer David Cox who
collaborated on the projects ClockClock and A million Times. Today, the studio is com-
prised of a larger group of specialists who bring together a unique blend of expertise and
intellectual curiosity, exploring the interplay of design, art and engineering.
ClockClock 24 by Humans since
1982 re-contextualises time
through an ingenious marriage
of analog and digital. Twenty-four
clocks come together to tell a
collective story in one singular
digital display. Each individual
clock hand is choreographed in
line with the others, so that these
clocks tell the time as a collective,
rather than individually.
The clock can be programmed in
12-or 24-hour time format and can
display three dierent modes of
movement between each minute:
minimal, medium or elaborate.
