Week 3, Thing 6

The mashup I'm choosing to blog about this week is called "Constant Setting" and is a project by D'Arcy Saum, Nick Land, and Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino. The philosophy behind the website is: "Simply because the sun is always setting." Essentially, the site is a slideshow of photos that show the sun setting...as if this isn't already implied in the title. The site is interesting in that it shows many landscapes or seascapes that aren't always available to people--for instance, living in the midwest we are allowed to see how the sunset appears from the UK and all over the world. And for many people, a sunset is something that puts everything into perspective, and may even make us contemplate our place in the universe. The fact that a website can do this--and people can access it from anywhere in the world, anytime--is a very valuable thing. As they say, a picture's worth a thousand words...
