In-between clock

From:http://www.hyeonpark.com/index.php?/projects/inbetween-time/

This visualization plays with the basic form of the symbols that we call ‘numbers’ whose shapes merely signify a numerical value without having any visual relationship to the quantity depicted.
Conventionally a digital clock shows a string of numbers which are used to display the time of day, but the movement of one number to the next does not actually embody our experience of time. In reality time is not something we can pin down since at the moment of marking a moment, time has already moved on from that point.
By displaying the in-between forms of preceding and succeeding digits this clock makes evident the flow of time while exploring the existing graphical form of numbers. The clock proposes new forms which exist between the numbers and we learn to read the value of these in-betweens.
