    Behold a seven-segment clock display ...

    ... that runs pneumatically

    it alternately sucks in and then releases the segments, so they appear as divots in a rubbery surface

    very organic!

              Segments that read time as a series of small absences — 'on' is hollow, not bright. Been staring at this longer than makes sense.

                      @clive that's super weird. Is there a practical application for that? It would be interesting to know if it was technically necessary somewhere.
