Nearly 4,000 miles and five time zones, different cultures and histories separate England from Northern Michigan. But Julie Mecoli found a way to connect them. Mecoli’s project, “Empire Sunset”, involves showing a live webcam image of the view over Lake Michigan from Empire on screens at two venues in England. The five-hour time difference means that sunsets in Empire happen after 2 a.m., Greenwich Mean Time. The project was part of the Whitstable Biennale (which ended this spring) but continued through June as part of an exhibition in the Kent School of Architecture at the University of Kent, Canterbury.
