    This was originally a Warhol idea, wasn’t it?
    A six hour film of the Empire State building, as the day goes and the lighting changes, I think it was meant as like a window from an apartment or office right in the thick of Manhattan.

    Truth be told, I don’t hate the idea. Currently, it could be a framed digital screen on a loop, or showing a webcam feed. Why not a live view of Istanbul, or of the Moroccan desert?

      It is 8 hours. I got that movie on DVD from Germany. I have never watched the whole thing and I would be disappointed in myself if I ever do.

      Basement windows have to be larger than a specific standard. In your basement window is a foot high, that no longer counts as a bedroom iirc

        Which gives you really fucky barred windows that face a cement wall the same size as the window, that lets in less light than an angled window 1/4 of the size.

        PS: fuck illegal basement suites in new builds in Vancouver.

    You could do the same thing with a painting and a dim light. Just wouldn’t move. Assuming there are ”fake window” screen saver things for projectors.
