Revolution: by Ben Whitehouse.Revolution is a series of 24 hour high definition digital art works that record every movement, change of light, weather and mood that takes place at the chosen composition in a 24 hour period - one revolution of the planet. Artist Ben Whitehouse took digital videos of various landscapes that are 24 hours long and are viewed in real time. On this site are 3 minute edited clips created to show some of the transitions that take place within them. Included, among others, are North Bar Lake, Central Park and Lake Michigan.

Too easy. And it was boring back when Warhol did it, too. Though I could imagine this would be cool to have rear-projected on a wall/screen in your house. Every day a different landscape, timed to correspond with the day/light outside. Like Total Recall. Yeah.
