Measures

Seven pieces built from public measurements. The terrain is the terrain, the crossings are the crossings, and the orbits stay to scale even when that makes them almost invisible.

Timeforms Timeforms the hour you are in, as a colour field the clock — every mode reads one shared hour ramp, and the day stacks up behind you Loom Loom the harbour weaves itself shut by midnight NYC Ferry + NY Waterway — 2,497 crossings a weekday, each one a thread, bowed by NOAA tide and current Swell Swell the sea a beach is getting right now Open-Meteo Marine — live swell height, period and direction, over a coastline traced from OSM Strata Strata type a mountain, get that mountain AWS Terrain Tiles — real elevation, banded; the geocoder finds it, the contours are measured Passage Passage a year of animals crossing the Earth Movebank — 405 tracked migrations folded onto one year, from blue whales to bar-tailed godwits Limb Limb ten bodies, each lit from behind true relative radii — scroll falls through a nest of arcs; the toggle swaps the fitted nest for the real sizes Scale Scale every solar-system diagram lies about distance orbital radii and body diameters — one drag unwinds the poster until the planets are sub-pixel dust
