Facing the Sun is a project in collaboration with visual artist Gonzalo Reyes Araos, where you see the state of the sunlight of the world in realtime with open-source live webcams found online. It also exists in the form of the website at facingthesun.net as a pixellated map. As a collective from antipode regions - Gonzalo from Chile and Lucia from Korea - both having lived in opposite time zone from home, we are fascinated by the experience of being in day and night at the same time as one chats with his/her mother from home. With this project, we attempt to create a space that enable us to transcend geographic limit of experiencing time, with help of technology as an extension of our senses.
