Most of the time you’re “on the clock”, in this case you’d be under the clock- literally. This gigantic ceiling clock display from Realities United represents the minute digits on a clock. The overhead lights change every minute to form the current time digits while the overall lighting level remains constant. The installation is supposed to subtly contextualize the concept within and above the exhibit space itself (or some shit like that, you know how those art exhibit people write, who the hell can comprehend what they’re trying to say? all I know is that it’s cool). Here’s some timelapse video of it in action:

Man Not Allowed to Board Flight Wearing a Transformers Shirt

Posted on Saturday 31 May 2008

transformer-shirt Man Not Allowed to Board Flight Wearing a Transformers Shirt
Brad Jayakody (The Edge of Madness) is reporting that he was accosted by airport security for wearing the above Transformers shirt. Why? Because Megatron has a gun! On the shirt. He was forced to change shirts and threatened with arrest if he put back on the the offensive shirt.

Go through security, get pulled to the side……Then he explains that since Megatron is holding a gun, I’m not allowed to fly. WTF? It’s a 40 foot tall cartoon robot with a gun as an arm……I said I’d get changed. So I stripped off at security and changed t-shirts, putting the “offensive” t-shirt in my bag……The supervisor comes over and is now a dick to me, telling me if I put the shirt on I’ll be arrested.

Crazy story! Clearly the lesson is, Optimus Prime shirt=patriot, Megatron shirt=terrorist.
