Recurrent Anaximander is a generative animation running on a custom-made 400,000-pixel circular display that shows small planets in orbit creating rare eclipses. Each day it is on exhibit, the piece connects to a server housed at NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), downloading the sun’s most recent images.
