3.16 billion cycles by che-wei wang.

can we watch decay? can we see glass as a fluid slowly slumping and deforming over time?everything is in constant flux, yet we consider many things around us static and fixed. 3.16 billion cycles is an attempt to unravel a seemingly unchanging 100 years into a set of relationships in digestible increments.

1 cycle takes 1 second. 3.16 cycles will take exactly 100 years, after which the clock is designed to literally fall apart. it's very complicated. and very cool. see a video of it in motion here.
