A Million Times Meaning,
Best Wall Clock Ever,
A million Times. A graphically conceptual, mechanical and engineered based design project. With this kinetic installation, Humans since 1982 present clocks as objects unleashed from a solely pragmatic existence. Locked in its functionality to show the time, the natural character inherent to an analogue clock with its two arms constantly dancing in slow motion around the center, unveils hidden figurative qualities without denying its primary purpose.
The prototype was presented at Design Days Dubai 2013. The artwork was called ‘Times Dubai’ and it was part of an exclusive installation.

A Million Times is both a kinetic sculpture and functioning clock created by Stockholm-based artists´ collective Humans since 1982. With a ‘clock face’ made up of 504 smaller clocks and a width of 7.5m, the entire ‘clock face’ is wider than that of London’s Big Ben (7m). Each of the 1008 clock-hands (504-minute hands and 504-hour hands) are fitted with individual motors, giving the kinetic sculpture the ability to show various patterns, as well as the time and greetings in various languages across different times of the day. The artwork has been commissioned by Changi Airport Group and can now be seen in Terminal 2 at the entrance of the departure hall.
"Metaphorically speaking, we liberated the clock from its sole function of measuring and reporting the time by taking the clock hands out of their 'administrative' roles and turning them into dancers."

ClockClock 24 combines a unique concept, technical precision and expert craftsmanship, resulting in the highest quality form. The idea for ClockClock 24 comes from the original project and brings the concept of kinetic time sculpture to a wider audience, in a more compact and affordable version and lends a joyful satisfaction to the passing of time, in its clever interplay between analogue and digital timekeeping.
Originally commissioned by MoMA’s New York store, ClockClock 24 was developed in close cooperation with engineers and timepiece specialists.
Part kinetic sculpture, part functional timepiece, ClockClock 24 is produced and carefully assembled with true dedication in Humans since 1982’s workshop in Sweden and is currently available on the ClockClock website and through carefully selected retail partners worldwide.

Clock Clock 24 (Sweden)
Designed by Humans since 1982
This statement-making object re-contextualizes time through an ingenious marriage of analog and digital. Twenty-four round clocks come together to create one giant digital display. The clock hands are choreographed, liberating the clocks from the sole purpose of telling time. Can be set for 12 or 24 hour time in three different modes: minimal, medium or elaborate movement between minutes. Made in Sweden of Corian, steel and electric components.

MBS Art collection,
The Art Program at Mercedes-Benz Stadium,
Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the most highly-anticipated sports and entertainment venues in the world with a game-day experience that will be unparalleled, but maybe the most unexpected feature will be the incredible art collection that will be showcased inside and outside the stadium.
To incorporate a world-class art collection in the venue, Mercedes-Benz Stadium partnered with the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2015 to professionally commission, curate and install original artwork throughout the stadium. The agreement also includes the professional installation of memorabilia. The Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United and SCAD jointly surveyed fans and supporters to determine the types of art and aesthetics that most appealed to them. As a result of that research, the themes of the pieces throughout the stadium will focus on what resonates with fans, conveys positivity and remains uplifting
Penny McPhee, president of The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, said that the community surrounding Mercedes-Benz Stadium, including Atlanta’s Westside, will be impacted by those themes within the art collection. “Art is universal and, like sports, art is a great equalizer. No matter their background, everyone has a valid opinion about what they like, what excites them, what makes them laugh or cry or think about something differently. The art in the stadium, like the stadium itself, will stimulate conversation, passion and fun.”
In February 2016, through outreach to local art galleries, Atlanta media and the Georgia Council for the Arts, SCAD put out a call for local artists to submit portfolios. Over 650 submissions were reviewed, and select artists presented formal proposals for potential commissions. Last week, Mercedes-Benz Stadium and SCAD revealed more about what that comprehensive art collection will include. Fifty-three artists were selected – 30 percent of which are local to Atlanta and surrounding cities – to contribute to the collection and over 100 works of art were commissioned, including two signature sculptures.
The first sculpture, a falcon, constructed by Gábor Miklós Szőke of Budapest, will represent the Atlanta Falcons. The largest free-standing bird statue in the world, the falcon will stand at 41.5 feet tall, with a wingspan of over 64 feet. It will be erected on the main plaza facing the city skyline and be one of the first things people see as they approach Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The second sculpture was designed to represent the other professional sports team that will call Mercedes-Benz Stadium home, MLS’s Atlanta United. It will be a mirror-faceted soccer ball that will sit by the north entrance of the stadium. This statue will stand almost 35 feet tall and fans will be able to see it from the green space that will be developed on the current site of the Georgia Dome.
All of the artists selected for the program are locally and internationally acclaimed and their work will be strategically placed throughout Mercedes-Benz Stadium, including concourses, club and suite spaces and corporate offices. The idea was for every fan, supporter and guest who comes to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to have the opportunity to see, experience and enjoy it all.
Expertly curated by SCAD, The Art Collection at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will explore themes including football, soccer, the history and culture of Georgia and the Atlanta community. The Collection will feature work across several mediums, including sculpture, painting and drawing, photography, mixed media and digital art.
As one of the most ambitious art programs in scope and scale for a professional sports stadium, The Collection will add yet another unique feature to the stadium that has never been experienced across any other sports or entertainment venue.
“The art program is one more important way to provide ‘wow’ experiences for our fans,” says McPhee. “Hopefully, they will see a diverse collection of artworks by local and international artists that will offer surprising perspectives about sports, art and community.”
