The East Light: Live Streaming Sunrise(set)

Artists Alliance Inc / May 4 - June 4, 2018 / New York, New York

In the global world order perspectives on influence and power cycle through new stages. No longer do we live in a world in which one view point is accessible, instead we are swimming in them. In order to comment on such phenomena, every morning throughout the duration of the Mardin Biennial, the sunrise in Mardin is projected in real time on a screen facing the public from the window of a space in New York. Vice-versa the view of the New York screen live-streaming the sunrise in Mardin is seen on a second screen inside the Mardin Museum. This is an adaptation of the artist’s “Golden Hours: Live Streaming Sunset” (2015-ongoing) project for the 4th International Mardin Biennial utilizing the term “ex oriente lux” as a guiding force. Within the framework of the “Body Language” section of the biennial, the work invites us to listen to how our bodies may react to this virtual window into another world, an extension of perspective and a collapse of time and distance.
