Don't let the overly dramatic music fool you. This installation by Humans Since 1982 is an elegant way of synchronizing the form of analog clocks into a sort of hybrid analog-digital readout. It tells the time, but also reconfigures itself into a variety of shapes, creating an amorphous display that makes the best use of two hands in each of 135 clocks.

If you want to see it in person, you'll have to go to Ham Yard Hotel in London. Otherwise, you might have to settle for this app.
