Helio Clock

The Helio Clock is an interactive web-based art project that visualizes time as a series of nested circles, each representing a different timescale—from millennia down to seconds. Each ring shows the percentage progress and exact position within its unit, allowing users to see at a glance how far we are through the millennium, century, decade, year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and second. This makes every moment completely unique, ensuring the clock will never look exactly the same twice. Helio offers multiple viewing modes, including concentric or segmented dials and flexible positioning. These options invite experimentation and alter how you perceive the layers of time. The experiment aims to inspire meditative reflection on temporality, perspective, and our shared place within the unfolding story of the universe.
