Cary Peppermint and Christine Nadir who form the collaborative Ecoarttech have a new web art piece that brings the physical cycles of the moon into the electronic realm of the Internet.At sunrise and sunset, fluctuating orbs of light disrupt the “digital landscape,” and the information environment of the website for the Whitney Museum of American Art (whitney.org).  The regular museum website is ruptured by ecoarttech’s visual intervention of blurry orbs overpowing the other online information timed to coincide precisely with sunrise and sunset in New York City (EST); viagra online without prescription.The size and speed of the orbs will vary based on the number of visitors to whitney.org since the previous sunrise (for sunset) or sunset (for sunrise); higher visitation results in larger viagra online without prescription, slower-moving orbs.
