Abstract
The Sun at Night is a new Arts Council England and University of Central Lancashire funded installation by David Henckel and Dan Wilkinson that explores our relationship to the Sun and creatively disseminates the research of UCLan’s Solar Physics group utilising the stunning images taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.
Over the course of two nights the covered market will be transformed into the centre of our solar system with a large-scale public art installation. One year’s worth of footage of The Sun has been condensed into a 30-minute film, which will slowly rotate around a large cylindrical projection screen accompanied by an appropriately deep and sinister soundtrack.
The event will include a talk about the Sun by Professor Robert William Walsh – Director of UCLan’s Research and Innovation Office, a talk about Moses Holden by local history detective Stephen Halliwell - an expert on the Preston Astronomer, and a live improvised performance at 8.00pm on Sunday night using analogue synthesisers and samplers / found sounds reacting to the footage.
