Sky Dial is a 60 meter long curtain that wraps 360 degrees around glass meeting room. The twelve parts represent a 24h sky colour cyclus from day to night, each representing an interval of two hours.
Inspired by the fact that ‘light weaves colour’ by a phenomenon called ‘Rayleigh scattering’, data about the angle and position of the sun was observed and used as input for a digital pointillistic system to build up the colours for the curtain. On micro level the colour is constructed from a set of noisy pixels in different colours, resulting in a tactile articulation of a natural phenomenon.
