Heroismo/Terceira/Azores, appr. 12 hours apart, video
cameras have been directed towards the sky and connected online to the
Internet. The
images from both cameras were constantly sent to a screen, where a
central circular field of one sky is superimposed on the other. Two
moons circulate around that fields and their position shows the local
time. The
realisation is based on the collaboration with Kanazawa Institute of
Technology (KIT) - Tokyo and University of Azores - Angra using the
respective
Sunpendulum Time-Eyes as well as the www-client software by Herbert
Schwabl and support by the Sunpendulum Kernel team. " (Hofstetter Kurt, 2005).
