Description

sunclock (movements of the sun) is a digital clock that tracks the movement of the sun and displays it as a yellow field on a computer screen. At midday, the whole screen is yellow and at night, the yellow field disappears entirely. The artist made different versions of the program to represent the movement of the sun in different geographic locations including Perth, Stockholm, New York, and elsewhere.

A yellow field moving at a computer screen. It reflects the suns movements in the sky and the movement can hardly be seen, but it s moving all the time. When the sun rises a yellow field starts to move, first the field can hardly be seen but the more the sun moves the more you can see of the yellow field. At the middle of the day the whole field can be seen and the whole screen are yellow. It could be seen as a slowly moving painting. When the sun goes down the yellow field disappear. You can follow the sun live, a digital Sun.
