Giant Digital Ceiling Clocks

Contemporary Architecture Makes Time Float

Contemporary Architecture presents a minimalist installation commissioned by New York-based Artists space gallery. Its two digits of 7-segment display, formed using industrial fluorescent tubes, are suspended from the ceiling. As a “display”, the installation is used to show the current time in minutes. At the same time, as a light installation, it is the only light source inside the exhibition space.

Imagine having a huge clock on top of your head. Pretty scary, right? I can totally see that being used in training facilities, game shows and horror/action movies. It's a crazy world out there!
