DAB's Clocks is a collection of hand made, one of a kind devices that each display time in unconventional and interesting ways. For many of these clocks I have been fortunate to work collaboratively with several creative and skilled individuals. I'll typically build a mock up to confirm feasibility and essential design features and then create a simple rendering. These renderings become the basis for the fabrication.
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.
