Time control Clock

Concept

I'd like to do some clocks that could control the clips which have happened. And is related to the different time zone and interactive between users. The installation will be simply consisted by two or three clocks and videos, using Arduino and potentiometer.

Videos

The videos will be recorded from the different time zone cities(origin idea). The vodios are supposed to about 2 hours to 24 hours.In the installation, the videos will be played automatic on the wall by projector.

Below is the example video from Thomas Grill, he did the shooting on August for the Pure Data Convention in Weimar. This video will be only for the test of the installation.

Clocks

I propose to use some very normal clocks. Install the sensor inside the clock and connect to arduino. When people touch and move clock pointer, the video will be stoped and moved to the the same time as showed on the clock. The clocks will be displayed just like in the receiption of hotel, hang on the wall parallel with the city name.

Code

Arduino (sample)

Proccessing (figure moved by mouseX)

void setup() {

 size(1000, 700);
 strokeWeight(3);
 smooth();

}

void draw() {

 background(0);
 fill(174, 221, 60);
 ellipse(100, 580, 100, 100);
 ellipse(145, 580, 2, 2);
 ellipse(55, 580, 2, 2);
 ellipse(100, 535, 2, 2);
 ellipse(100, 625, 2, 2);
 ellipse(100, 580, 5, 5);
 
 float hourAngle = map(mouseX, 0, width, 0, 360);
 
 pushMatrix();
 translate(100, 580);
 rotate(radians(hourAngle*12) - radians(90));
 line(0, 0, 40, 0);
 
 float speed = dist(mouseX, mouseY, pmouseX, pmouseY);
 float diameter = speed * 2.0;
 fill(204, 221, 80);
 ellipse(50, 50, diameter/2, diameter/2);
 popMatrix();
 
 
 translate(100, 580);
 rotate(radians(hourAngle) - radians(90));
 line(0, 0, 20, 0);

}
