Eternal Sunset

Eternal Sunset continually presents live images of the sunset using existing online webcams from all over the world. As the sunset moves westward, Eternal Sunset tunes into different webcams, chasing the sunset around the globe. Eternal Sunset is a virtual space where time is passing but where the daily cycle of day and night has come to a freeze at sunset. Eternal Sunset comments on the collapse of space and time brought about by technology in general and the Internet in particular
