PART 1: Heliocentric by Semiconductor

We kick of with Heliocentric from the British duo Semiconductor. Semiconductor is interested in invisible scientific phenomena – and in Heliocentric they mangaged with use of time-lapse photography and astronomical tracking Semiconductor to plot the sun’s trajectory across a series of landscapes: the roofs of a cityscape, a garden or forest, a greenhouse. The entire environment feels to pan past the camera whilst the sun stays in the centre of each frame, enabling us to gauge the earth’s rotation and orbit around the sun. Togeher with the intense soundtrack of BJ Nilsen a breathtaking experience
