Sunlight entering the former MEAC museum on my 50th birthday (2030), 2012

Site-specific video installation Computer-generated animation: Single-channel HD video (color, silent).
Duration 1:40 min.

This computer-generated simulation shows how the sunlight will enter the former MEAC Museum on my 50th birthday (March 12, 2030). To develop this piece, I created a 3D virtual replica of the museum and used a software to render the sun interacting with the architecture on that specific geographical and temporal coordinates.
