Sunset Predictor
Personal Project / 2026
Light has physics. It scatters, diffuses and shifts — and those shifts are predictable if you know what to measure.
Weather apps tell you if it will rain. None tell you if the sky will be worth watching. This Sunset Predictor reads four atmospheric variables in real time — cloud cover, humidity, atmospheric conditions, and sun position — and translates them into a color gradient rendered as a sphere of light.
The result lives on a monitor like a painting that updates every day. A quiet invitation to stop and look up before the sky changes.
Inspired by the work of Olafur Eliasson and James Turrell.
