EXHIBITION DESIGN SPECS

Inspired by Tree from Simon Heijdens, I would like to propose to have #sunrise to be a 67.5' by 30' projection on a clear and plain colored facade of a building. The map showing the corresponding sunrise picture would be displayed on an interactive monitor nearby.

This project crosses multiple disciplines including Computer Science and Installation Arts. The installation attracts a diverse crowd and is universally appealing. This is also an art piece for the general public and anyone who is interested in computational arts or just sunrise watching.

In order to encourage participation from passive audience, the installation is designed to be outdoor in a public venue with high traffic, simulating the experiences created by Trafalgar Sun and The Weather Project. The piece is meant to be viewed at a large scale in an outdoor setting without bright light, for appropriate periods of time to create the experience of watching the sunrise. Onlookers can stop and appreciate the beauty of the ever-changing colors of the sky of the sunrises from different locations.
