20071203 - Daycaster Rear

view map

This is the back of the "Daycaster" by the park'n'ride for Exeter. Still not quite sure what it's actually saying, or where the day starts etc. Suppose there must be some info on it somewhere but I can't really be bothered to look!

Oooh - Sheila looked it up for me - rings vague bells:...

Stirling prize short listed architects Sutherland and Hussey designed Daycaster to celebrate the arrival of the Met Office to Exeter and form a new gateway for the city. Daycaster forms an ever-changing arc of light that subtly changes according changing climate conditions. 24 LED's are connected to a solid state computer that records the difference in temperature, humidity and pressure for over the past twenty four hours and reflect the difference from average conditions through coloured light. The Daycaster is magenta when warmer and blue when colder then average conditions.

Client: Exeter City Council


...and a Daycaster dedicated website, which will soon include my photo - yay! daycaster.nfshost.com

It's probably saying that there might be some weather somewhere.
Nothing too specific.

If thats what I think it is then, nice shot and well seen. Dunno why I haven't thought of it myself. But then if its *not* what I think it is then I'm just talking rubbish....
