Richard Birkett has been an artist and clockmaker for nearly 30 years. His clocks are wondrous, unique and inspiring creations that record the time accurately, but make you question why you even need to know the time as you look at them.
You cant help but let your mind wander as you explore the memories and thoughts the clocks give you. Each clock has its own story that the viewer makes up, and each time you look at it the story changes.
They are functional and irrational at the same time, which is a pretty perfect description of living.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
