Field notes
The browser renders clocks from a token hash and Marfa's local time, calculating solar and lunar positions for the coordinates shown on the page; the project says its engine loads nothing and computes every texture. Its 29 clock designs include eight latitude-specific sundials and a nocturnal that reads the Big Dipper, with 19 places listed. The page also offers time-lapse, alignment, still, and GIF views, while its Art Blocks reference displays open their original players separately.
