The apparent movements of the sun around the earth, and the gradients of colored light that unfold in the sky, are phenomena that are so undeniably beautiful that they become crystallized images, inaccessible and difficult to be analyzed.
From a simulation of the Earth's atmosphere, a program analyzes the color data from different points in the sky and their changes over time. Computing involves separating, organizing, analyzing. How the sun move
and how the color of the sky changes, what are its rhythms, its relationships, its tensions. The emerging of that computation is information available to be interpreted and manipulated. These data displays relationships, movements and trends.
The physical universe can be thought of as an infinite series of relationships between systems. The influence of sunlight on the Earth's atmosphere generates chromatic effects that constitute an extremely expressive material. The program takes that material and makes it inexpressive by transforming it into numerical data, but that information can be reorganized by becoming again expressive. In this passage what emerges is the singularity of the original phenomenon, resignifying it.
