The Observatory
FULL SET
For this version of the project, the positions of the moon and the sun are translated in real time and according to your geolocation.
Our civilizations were born under the stars and the contemplation of space has nourished the imagination of mankind for thousands of years. Astronomy plays a major role in human evolution, and this project, "The Observatory", is a hymn to the observation of the sky. This digital work reproduces the positions of the sun and the moon through a play of colors. Each spectator is considered as the center of a reference point for which a series of astronomical calculations determine the coordinates of our stars. These coordinates are then transferred to a chromatic circle and create a gradient that evolves very slowly throughout the day. One of the particularities of this work is its infinite character: the program carries out the calculations in real time and proposes a unique and non-reproducible play of color to the spectators outside their own space-time.
