Time is important at an airport, with thousands of people running back and forth trying to get to their plane on time. This is why most airports are full of clocks everywhere. Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands is no exception, but it offers a twist: a giant clock that appears as if a man is busy painting it real time, minute by minute. The painter is actually a 12-hour-long recording, that gives a convincing illusion that a human is standing inside the translucent clock, busy at work as the hands go around. This creative timepiece is the latest work of Maarten Baas, a well-known Dutch artist and designer that has a series of similar live clock recordings. The Schiphol Airport clock was created by Baas in 2016.
