This was one of my favorite art pieces at Burning Man. This old fashioned clock was made out of reclaimed wood carved in great detail. Its interior held actual working clockworks, also made out of wood. It was fascinating to watch the wooden clogs slowly turn, interlocking each step. Each of the legs had some intricate carved weather-vane type thing on top, and the clock had 3 faces: one showing the actual time, one showing time controlled by viewers by spinning a captains wheel which in turn controlled a small monkey that turned the hands of the clock, and one with hands spinning in opposite directions representing the unconscious.
The pendulum in the clock was made from a recycled Wok; the bells, which chimed on the hour, were made out of welders tanks.
The artist was offerred $30,000 NOT to burn the piece, but declined.
