One Day (São Joaquim, Brazil / Sakurajima, Japan), 2013

One Day (São Joaquim, Brazil / Sakurajima, Japan) is a diptych of two gicléé prints framed with window mounts, each showing a series of seventy-two screen captures taken from a webcam over the course of one day. The left-hand print shows images from a webcam located in São Joaquim, Brazil while the right shows images from a webcam on the exact opposite side of the planet in Sakurajima, Japan.

The work forms part of a larger project Antipodes, a primarily online artwork launched on the Northward Equinox 2013, which captured and archived webcam images from places on exact opposite sides of the globe. These paired places, situated as far away from each other as it is physically possible to be, were watched by the website unblinkingly, for one year.

The Antipodes project evolved to include other physical and digital works created from the data collected on antipodes.uk.com. A series of photographic prints and time-lapse videos were created from the continuous flow of images captured by the project website and five unique drawings depicting antipodal geographies were created for the artist's solo exhibitions at Spacex, Exeter and Pheonix, Leicester.

Commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella, in association with Spacex.
