Sunpendulum is an art, science and technology project〔 devised by Austrian media artist Kurt Hofstetter.〔 ==Concept== ;''Watching the sky Twelve video cameras called "time-eyes" are connected to the internet in twelve locations in twelve time zones around the Earth, observing the sky twenty four hours per day, continuously creating a hypothetical "sun clock" which spans the planet.〔 ;''Installations'' * 1999 Maui, Bermuda and Granada * 2000 Cairo, New Orleans and Ensenada * 2001 Azores * 2002 Dubai 〔 * 2003 Hong Kong 〔 * 2004 Kolkata 〔 * 2005 Tokyo 〔 * 2006 Marshall Islands 〔 ;''Viewing the results → '' Note: This section describes "pavilions" which have not been constructed or installed.'' At a location to be determined within each time zone, twelve screens are intended to be arranged in a circle within a pavilion〔 meant to remain open for visitors twenty four hours per day. The screens, connected online with the time-eyes, transmit the images from the twelve time zones.〔 As the earth rotates, the images transmitted by the time-eyes move within a pavilion's circle of screens where day and night may be vicariously experienced in parallel. Each pavilion, a circular structure of twenty four pairs of half cylinders, each pair of which resembles in horizontal cross section the Hopi symbol ( ) for universal brotherhood,〔 is intended to allow twenty four points of entry for visitors while preventing local light from reaching the screens. An arrangement of rooftop solar cells is hypothesized to produce the necessary energy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunpendulum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
