A decade ago we shared a story about an engaging project that involved the installation of a human clock in Amsterdam’s Schiphol International Airport. Now, as part of his Real Time series, artist Maarten Baas has created The People’s Clock, a timepiece that lives in  Schiphol airport. To create the clock’s “workings”, Baas recorded more than 1000 volunteers moving as the clock’s hands over a 12-hour period. If you look carefully, you can see a single individual dressed in orange at the edge of the circle acting as the second hand:

Each of the installed clock’s faces is a looped video of that recording, synced to the current time. Here’s a quick behind-the-scenes video of how the clock was made:
