'Facing Time Eye of Tokyo and Azores in parallels' by Hofstetter Kurt
media installation, 2005

Live images from the Sunpendulum Time-Eye of Tokyo and Azores are constantly downloaded to be superimposed upon the pupil of two computer generated eyes in parallel. Whenever the download process of a new image is complete the computer system triggers the opening and closing of the eyelid and refreshes the sky image in its pupil. The respective refresh rate, i.e. the data transmission bandwidth, at the moment of Internet controls the winking of the eye  - and how long the moments last. The realisation is based on the collaboration with the Kanazawa Institute of Technology and University of Azores using the respective Sunpendulum Time-Eyes as well as the www-client software by Peter Stieglecker and supported by the Sunpendulum Kernel team.
