The Observatory

FREE LOCATION

This version of the project translates the positions of the moon and the sun by a set of color wheel gradients in real time for a location of your choice.

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.
