Sunset/Sunrise: Stephanie Rothenberg, Outlook: Untitled at Sunrise

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.

The second commission in the series is "Outlook: Untitled" by artist Stephanie Rothenberg. At sunrise and sunset, a frenzy of faux pop-up advertisements referencing the current world economic crisis take over the screen space of whitney.org.
