Earth Clock

11/2011

Earth Clock is a web-based digital clock assembled from views of Earth from above that resemble numbers. Each view zooms in and out, weaving the unfamiliar to the familiar. Every minute, the views jump to a new location revealing a digit that may be a building or terrain in a foreign place, but as we zoom out, we begin to associate it with familiar landscapes, discernible shapes of countries, and the distinct view of our planet.
