"Mocap moonwalk" Illusionistic Wall Clock

Design by JAN PAUL
“Time is an illusion”
Most wall-clocks have the same basic shape: round. Also the same looking time-indication by
numbers or stripes.
“MOCAP” steps away from the basic. It’s appearance leans more to a piece of conceptual art ,
then to a basic time-telling clock. Therefore it is also functioning as a wall mounted sculpture.
When you stand in front of the clock: the numbers are clear and visible. When you walk around it: numbers slowly seem to dissolve, and appear to fall apart in little floating white spheres.
This optical illusion results in a striking and intriguing piece. Inspired by “MOTION CAPTURE”
technique used in the movie-industry.

The Mocap “Moon” version is coated with a self developed structured black surface. This surface will absorb the light and make the white spheres even more contrasting with the surface. Enhancing the visual effect.
The texture also gives the design a “walking on the moon” atmosphere.

Status: Unlimited edition , signed and numbered by maker.
material: composite / wood / metal
color: Clock-face finished in matted black, causing the bright white spheres to seemingly float in mid-air.
-Clock-hands finished in anthracite so they are subtle visible. against the matted black background.
