Neat project, but I was really hoping there might actually be a video feed of the current sunrise and sunset. It seems like a missed opportunity for the subject matter and medium.
Totally. It requires figuring out and setting up arcane software such as Darwin Streaming Server, or Nimble Streamer, something like Quicktime Broadcaster, and Apache2, and also requires massive hardware resources, like a server for broadcasting, a server for shooting, and a webserver... that could be anywhere from one to two entire machines. That the WWW works at all is somewhat of a miracle. What webdevs do is more like brain surgery than anything else. ><
That is most certainly done on purpose and as part of the installation: you have to be present at -this- specific location to consume something that is 'at a random other location'.
Lovely construct, I like the tension between the limited (viewer location) vs unlimited (camera location).
