Each piece is primarily a kinetic artwork that doubles as a futuristic clock with out the usual construction methods to represent the time. Tempus uses state of the art digital LED’s that illuminate three different rings of segments in sequence to collectively represent a 12 hour time path. The central ring is the seconds units, once all 60 units illuminate then the first in the minutes ring illuminates. Once all 60 minutes segments illuminate the first hour segment will illuminate and the cycle continues.
