DABs Clocks is a collection of hand made, one of a kind devices that each display time in unconventional and interesting ways. These time pieces are both functionally and aesthetically pleasing. I design and build some of my clocks without any assistance. For others I turn to Guy Marsden for the engineering and fabrication phase. In these situations I bring a concept to Guy and through an iterative and collaborative process I'll eventually create a 3D representation of the clock that Guy will build.
Projector Binary Clock
A Graphlex large format camera (circa 1945) is used to project the image of an LED binary clock array (electronics scavenged from an Anelace clock) onto frosted glass. The clock is located in rear of the camera at the film plane. The clock image is projected onto a 90 degree mirror prism and then redirected to frosted glass. Alignment is tricky and spacing of all elements is critical in order to get "dots" of light properly sized and positioned on frosted glass.
