'Against the Run' clock art, with a fixed second hand and rotating face, recreated using AI coding
Hacker News user xnx has recreated 'Against the Run,' a rotating clock face with a fixed second hand at 12 o'clock, near the Welcome Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
AI coding tools are quite fun for making different clock concepts. Here's a one-... | Hacker News
From a distance, 'Against the Run' looks like a street clock, but unlike a regular analog clock, the second hand is fixed at 12 o'clock and the dial moves. The artist is Alicja Kwade, a Polish artist who studied sculpture at the University of the Arts in Berlin.

This is what it looks like when it's moving.
The clock itself shows the correct time, but because the second hand is fixed, the dial rotates counterclockwise to the left every second, making it appear as if the clock is going against the flow of time, making this an interesting piece of art.
'The AI coding tool is a really fun way to create different watch concepts,' xnx said, recreating 'Against the Run' as an example.
Here's a preview of 'Against the Run' released by xnx:

By tweaking the code, making the dial white, or changing the font of the letters, it seems possible to make it even closer to the original.
