Interactive time/space portal through shared stars
Weaver is an interactive artifact that invites two people to meet across time and space through a shared fragment of the night sky. Like sacred storytelling, rituals, prayers, and meditations, it offers a passage beyond linear time and immediate experience into a quiet awareness shaped by the invisible threads that bind us.
Two celestial maps overlap: one for each observer. Each is rendered in a distinct color, reflecting the night sky from a specific place and moment. In the intersection lies their shared constellations, a common sky both participants can witness beyond distance or time.
Each map uses a polar projection. Stars near the outer edge rest close to the horizon (marked by the cardinal directions), while those at the center hover directly overhead. This perspective situates each observer within their own sky, while revealing where their visions align.
Beside each map, a rotating globe marks the observer’s location. Both the celestial maps and the globes are fully interactive. By dragging the sky, you can shift the date and time; by rotating the globe, you can reposition the observer anywhere on Earth.
To share this experience with someone, open the settings panel via the gear icon in the upper right corner of this web page. There, you can define the specific time, location, and identity of each observer, shaping the conditions of your encounter.
Once configured, apply your changes and share the generated URL. What you offer is not just a link, but an invitation: to pause, to look upward, and to recognize that even across distance and time, there are stars we hold in common.
