Choreography Mode 1: Active

Mode 1 contains 20 different choreographies shown over 20 minutes on a loop. Every minute the clock hands perform one of the 20 choreographies before displaying the accurate time. This is the studio’s favoured mode - it is the most varied and intricate.

Choreography Mode 2: Original

The clock hands perform the first original clock hand choreography conceived of by Humans since 1982 at the beginning of our art timepiece journey, while continuing to show accurate time each minute.

Choreography Mode 3: Minimal

In minimal mode the artwork displays only the time in our digital typography, without any clock-hand choreographies. For moments when only a fine-tuned timepiece is required.

All modes can display either 12 or 24 hour time as preferred.

A million Times does generate some discernible sound as the motors turn the clock hands, but it is not a loud noise. Many of our collectors have remarked that the sound emitted is calming and perceptible as a natural noise, similar to waves on the shore or wind through grass.The artworks are well suited to being placed in living and working spaces. We would not necessarily recommend installation in sleeping quarters for light sleepers.Please note, the more clock faces the artwork has, the more discernible the sound generated by the piece will be.The artwork can be changed to minimal mode for moments when silence is golden.

For a flawless installation we recommend prior wall preparation so that A million Times can be encountered without any visible cables.To achieve this we recommend a power socket and data point is installed behind the artwork. Our studio will provide all the necessary specifications and can support the planning to ensure this is executed correctly.

We can create a solution to install A million times on almost any surface. We have a well-refined methodology for installation on brick, gypsum and wood walls among others.If you have a specific location in mind you are welcome to reach out and our specialists can gladly advise.
