Are the "analog" clocks actually analog? Seems like they just transition between discrete states based on the current (digital) time.

Still, mesmerizing visualization.

Agree. I was initially expecting the "analog" clocks to show the time and he arranged in a way that they formed the digital time. I do think it's cool to look at though
I think that counts as analog, because the hands of the clocks are a continously variable indication. Even if they move in increments of 90 degrees, what's happening in the clock involves measurement, not just counting. That makes it at least partly analog.
They're clock shaped things, but not actual clocks, just discs with two indicator hands. Pretty tho :)
