This mess of wires is from my first adventure in circuitry and Arduino with much help from the soldering savant Paul Preston.
For those interested in getting started in digital art or electronics in general, I highly recommend SparkFun Electronics located in Boulder, Colorado. They have an exhaustive inventory and offer intro through advanced classes covering a wide range of electronic objectives.
Thank you to Lori Kennedy Photography for these images.
How to read the clock:
Hours are read across the top row of each panel from left to right. Each panel contains 3 hours and 15 minutes. As each minute passes an LED illuminates the next frame, slowly filling the display as the next hour approaches.
Breaking up the clock like this preserves our familiar method of breaking up time into 4 quarters and allows the display to be easily read from afar.

The graphics indicate the 4 stages of stress as read on an ECG. An all too common example of how my heart reacts to the balancing act of social engagements, personal to-dos, and fast approaching project deadlines.
