Cover image for Most people think a shadow
Most people think a shadow is just a shadow. Study a real sundial: the shadow isn't a drop shadow or a perspective projection. It has personality. It's alive in a way digital shadows never are. time.connectio.com.au (http://time.connectio.com.au) uses real astronomical calculations to track the sun's position relative to you. Latitude, longitude, altitude. Shadow direction, length, softness, and colour temperature all shift exactly as they would in real life. The numerals have weight. The penumbra is properly soft. The whole piece breathes with the day/night cycle. Sunlight on your wall by day. Moonlight mode at night. Cast it to a 4K display and it becomes a meditative object in your home. I built this to explore beauty and truth in digital mediums. And partly because I'm a little unhinged when something captures my attention.
