It’s time to announce the next Solarcan Super User:

If you’ve browsed our World Map you may have noticed this Solarcan dot in the Pacific Ocean and wondered how did that happen?

Well it’s James we have to thank.

“I work as a navigator on ships. For 4 months at a time my life is structured and routine. The days and weeks and months blur together. I had been thinking about the nature of time and wanting to find a way to express that feeling of repetition. The Solarcan provided a perfect medium to express that.”

This gorgeous image is the result of James’ four months at sea. While the traditional arcs of the sun are distorted by the motion of both the sea and the ship itself travelling; there is still a definite direction to them. While mostly travelling from horizon to sky the horizontal ‘interruptions’ are great.

They make me think of an electrocardiogram; the sun beating across the sky like the rhythm of a heart.
