"In 1999, on Maui -
Hawaii / USA
and in Vienna / Austria, exactly
12 hours apart, videocameras were directed towards the sky and
connected
to the internet. Two videocameras – time-eyes – watched the sky
in
parallels. The images from both time-eyes were constantly sent to the
'echoraum' - Vienna to be screened via video-beam,
where a central circular field of one sky is superimposed on the other.
Two moons circulated around this
field
and their position showed the local time, simultaneously correct for
both
time zones" (Hofstetter Kurt, 1999).
