8 Minutes is a visual and interactive app inspired by the Solar flare phenomena that occurred on the Sun.
When there is a solar explosion, the cubes lights up, due to the NASA and NOAA open data service, with the same intensity of the wavelength of the phenomenon itself.
Solar X-Ray Flux is given by the geostationary NOAA satellite GOES-15 which orbits the Earth monitoring the radioactivity of the Sun.
8 Minutes app is the related to the interactive light installation developed by Roberto Fazio
