The other side
This installation automatically creates a three-dimensional relief carving of the current cloud formations and ocean surface conditions on the opposite side of the earth from the location of the gallery space. Using satellite data from the Nasa Earth Observing Information System and the GPS coordinates of the gallery, the installation obtains a current image of an approximately six hundred square mile area on the opposite side of the earth from its location. Using custom software, the system converts this image into a relief model that is sent to an onsite CNC machine hanging upside down in the gallery space. The CNC machine carves the relief in pink foam with its upside-down orientation directly echoing the cloud and ocean topography on the opposite side of earth.

LUMEN
LUMEN is an artwork which expresses our ever changing relationship and perception of space and time. The sculpture will be installed in Taiwan in 2022. It expresses in form, light and sound the ever changing star-scape above Taichung. Using a live NASA feed from the sun, a bespoke light and sound system will express the live energy of the sun and the real time positions of the stars above Taichung on and in the sculpture.
