Light Transition is about remote viewing and observation. Throughout a single day, a series of live composite-image compositions of both the Atlantic and Pacific shorelines of the U.S. is broadcast at the start of each commercial break, concluding with the observation of a simultaneous moonrise over the Atlantic Ocean and sunset into the Pacific Ocean. Designed as a high definition satellite broadcast via a national cable television network, and NOW, as a low resolution version cybercast over the internet. Light Transition uses live multi-site remote imaging as a poetic observation and homage to the wonder and beauty of sidereal dynamics. Cameras are positioned at the beach on both coasts, bringing the oceans together in a live split-screen image.
Transmission begins when the light falls evenly over both coasts.
Each transmission builds incrementally upon those previous, disclosing to our gaze those great cyclical patterns of shadow and gravity that marks the aspect and orbit of our planet through its circle of hours. When the project reaches its dramatic conclusion it becomes obvious that all the technology has been synchronized to observe a simultaneous moonrise over the Atlantic Ocean and sunset into the Pacific Ocean. Project development supported by the National Endowment For The Arts, and a Western States Media Award. Light Transition is a spin-off project of a larger Solstice Observation project that would broadcast the solar alignments and light projections at sacred sites and ancient stone observatories around the world.
