Interactive celestial maps connecting two observers across time and distance through shared stars
Interactive celestial maps connecting two observers across time and distance through shared stars
Weaver is an interactive work that invites two people to meet across time and space through a shared fragment of the night sky. Like a prayer or a ritual, it offers a passage beyond immediate experience into a quiet awareness of what connects us, not despite distance, but through it.
Two celestial maps overlap: one for each observer. Each is rendered in a distinct color, reflecting the night sky from a specific place and moment. In the region where the maps intersect lie the constellations both participants share, a common sky that exists beyond distance or time.
Each map uses a polar projection. Stars near the outer edge rest close to the horizon (marked by the cardinal directions), while those at the center hover directly overhead. This perspective situates each observer within their own sky, while revealing where their visions align.
Beside each map, a rotating globe marks the observer's location. Both the celestial maps and the globes are fully interactive. By dragging the sky, you can shift the date and time; by rotating the globe, you can reposition the observer anywhere on Earth.
To share this experience with someone, open the settings panel and define the specific time, location, and identity of each observer, shaping the conditions of your encounter. Apply your changes and share the generated URL. What you offer is not just a link, but an invitation: to pause, to look upward, and to recognize that even across distance and time, there are stars we hold in common.
