Humans Since 1982 have created the "Time Dubai" installation, part of their "A Million Times" project, for Design Days Dubai, running from March 18-21. Nearly 300 black-and-white clocks are synchronized via an iPad to tell the time and create flowing patterns in between each one-minute interval. This short clip shows just some of the mesmerizing effects that arise from hybridizing the analog and digital realms.

Thirty-somethings Per Emanuelsson and Bastian Bischoff of Humans Since 1982 strive to find beauty in the mundane, in this case from the repetition of a simplified clock face and the endless possibilities of their combination. The duo describes the installation as such: "With its two arms rotating around the center a clock always dances in slow motion. Shaping out this hidden quality without denying a clock's primary purpose was our goal."
