Sunpendulum Time-Eye in Dubai

Posted by admin on September 14th, 2009 filed in Travel

Dubai’s reputation as a hotspot for tourists is truly well-deserved. The exquisite beaches and the exotic desert are magnets for movie stars, artists, and club-goers from all over the world. There is a tremendously exciting night life here, with friendly and enthusiastic crowds ready to create new cultures in this fascinating city. There is also a generous feast of attractions here for visitors of all ages, with excellent sight-seeing, shopping malls, museums, and a zoo, that can fill the days with new memories. When planning your trip, and wondering which is the right luxury hotel, Dubai has a splendid assortment of options. We’ve carefully selected the best of these to offer you an accommodation experience that will suit your tastes. There is a great variety here, with something different for everyone. Our hotels are uniform, however, in their excellent levels of service and style. You’ll be treated to an old-world sense of hospitality that might make you think you’ve landed in paradise, and the contemporary design with classical touches will seal the deal. You are in paradise, and there’s a lot to see here. There are local and international artists and scientists who are creating work here that really does suggest that the world is growing both smaller and larger, by leaps and bounds. New experiments are linking place together in exciting ways, and one of these is Kurt Hofstetter’s Sunpendulum Time-Eye. The work is very complex, utilizing new technologies and logarithms to make the experiment, but the idea is rather sublime. The Sunpendulum Time-Eyes are placed in 12 locations around the world, with a camera facing the sky. These are then projected simultaneously to locations around the world, so that viewers can see the sky from different vantage points. It’s an experiment that suggests perception is based on the viewer, and at some point, we all observe the same thing. It suggests we are all connected, in a very simple and exciting way. Hofstetter, who comes from Linz and is now working in Vienna, is making elegant statements with this work, that speaks to a global culture, and is a perfect piece for today’s Dubai.
