Time

The first artwork of the series is established through the display of a graphical time-construct while using RGB as a code for hours (Red), minutes (Green) and seconds (Blue).

From sunset to sunrise, actual time will be displayed on the tower through a logic of additive blended color-surfaces, constructing upwards towards midnight when reaching the ultimate add of colored light; white.

A white pulse celebrates the new day, from which up light progressively will be returned to the sky.
