According to Design Boom, the artwork boasts 576 individual engines that power the hour and minute hands on each clock independently of each other. The hands work together to form a digital time or mesmerizing patterns.

This project build’s upon previous work by Cox using clocks, including this one with 24 clocks:

The Stockholm-based studio Humans Since 1982 was created in 2009 by Per Emanuelsson from Sweden and Bastian Bischoff from Germany — both born in 1982.

Liz, I like your articles, BUT motors are electric, hydraulic or pneumatic and receive power from an outside source. Internal Combustion Engines(ICE) produce power by converting chemical energy into mechanical energy.
Luv ya, mean it.

It’s also only 1 motor/hand, not 576/hand

Unless those engines burn fossil fuel or run on steam, I believe you mean 576 electric motors.
