Demonstrating LEGO clock builds and mini clock builds.

Exhibiting new pieces 'All Work and No Play' and 'Clash of the Fractions' developed as part of research at Oxford Brookes and other work, alongside the LEGO clock from the MAD Museum.

Presenting an installation in the main foyer with contemporary artist Aya Kasai at this festival of Contemporary Experimental Music and Sound Art.

This interactive LEGO clock raises a weight which is then released to run the clock on gravity. The weight falls to drive an escapement gated by a swinging pendulum, which in turn drives a gear train that gently rotates the hands of the clock.
