LE JOUR ET LA NUIT - 1995

Two computers, one in Brazil, one in Australia, averaged the images of the skies of the two countries.

The 12-hour time difference between these two points meant that the average was almost always the same as that between day and night, i.e. an average monochromatic blue. Cloud cover introduced nuances of grey, of clear blue sky and of dark blue.

Some 20,000 km separated us as we watched the rising and setting of the Australian sun.

The installation prompted our consciousness into expanding its focus to a planetary scale.
