Introduced with the re-launch of whitney.org in 2009, Sunrise/Sunset is a series of Internet art projects commissioned by the Whitney specifically for whitney.org to mark sunset and sunrise in New York City every day. Unfolding over a timeframe of ten to thirty seconds, each project accompanies a transition of the website’s background color from white (day) to black (night) and vice versa.

Curated by Christiane Paul, the Whitney’s adjunct curator of new media
