For real, I traded Atari games with Craig, the author of this site, in the late 1990's. He is an amazing dude. He also rode his bike around Australia and did a website about it: https://lunky.com/.
I'm reminded of a video installation somewhere of a clock where ever minute a guy repaints the minute line, but I don't remember where or what it was...does this ring a bell with anyone?
Norway likes slow TV, and did this for a whole day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6urNqR7x1kE
I checked in for all the big transitions where multiple panels had to be changed at the same time.
This reminds me of Pharrell Williams' 24 Hours of Happy [1] which was a website that you could visit and it would show a music video timed to that minute. On the hour, ever hour, there would be a special music video with the Pharrell instead.
The song was a real earworm and I'm sure people got sick of it but I really loved that website. Even though the song became a bit too much at times, it was a brilliant thing to watch.
Thanks for posting. In the early 2000's me, my brothers, and my dad spent several months taking pictures and submitting each sequential minute between 8-9. Looking back probably 20 years later now it is quite amusing to still see the pictures there! It has been a long time since I heard about the human clock.
This is the brother of a former housemate of mine, from almost 20 years ago. I emailed him back then to tell him I saw the site and thought it was cool. He told me I should check out his other site: humancock.com.
When I clicked that, the page loaded and read something like, "Shame on you!"
Fantastic and quite fun! This has been around for quite a while. I remember being obsessed with contributing to the Human Clock back in the day. I might go and search for my contributions over the holidays.

(I once circumnavigated a country on foot but it was merely the Vatican.)
Years ago there was a beautiful book published called From Alice to Ocean about a woman who walked across the Western deserts of Australia:
https://www.amazon.com/Alice-Ocean-Alone-Across-Outback/dp/0...
It was notable at the time also because it was one of the early uses of CD-ROM to add a multimedia component.

> a 24-hour video supercut (montage of scenes from film and television) that feature clocks or timepieces.
It's played synchronized with the actual time of day. I got to see it in a museum in London. It was awesome.
