The fascination we all have with the sun is mysterious and ambiguous. As the source of life on Earth, looking at it too much makes us see a new reality until everything goes dark. When it disappears everything freezes, but when it is too hot, everything melts. It uplifts us with hope and light in our darker moments. In her research into the effects of global warming on the landscapes of our future, visual artist Diane Drubay collaborated with generative art artist somaticbits to visualize how greenhouse effects might impact the sun if it was closer to us. Between a desire to be submerged by its warmth and a fear of seeing it dissolve, each of these videos is a sensory metaphor for the suns future.
