Summary[edit]

Description
English: Digital Clock, Oldham. This piece of functional public art was installed at the western end of the pedestrianised High Street in 2002. There are three concentric circles with LEDs around each circumference and each LED lasts for 200,000 hours (almost 23 years). The outer ring of red lights tell the hours; the middle ring of green lights tell the minutes; and the inner ring of blue lights tell the seconds. One has to count the number of lights lit on each circle to tell the time in hours, minutes and seconds. One problem - the clock doesn't work. Someone's nicked a few of the LEDs.
