From the interpretation panel: “Indigo Hanlee and Michael Thomas Hill, Lightwell Sundial, 2024.
Sundial is both a digital sundial that indicates the hours and seasons, and a video art piece that draws the viewer into an endless journey through North Sydney’s remnant bushland.
Drawing from an extensive video library filmed by the artists, the position of the sun and moon move across the sky marking the hours of the day. The footage also slowly shifts to match the seasons of the year, As a meditation on time, space and ecology, the artwork provides a window into North Sydney’s unique and changing environment.
Video artwork and bespoke software, LED screens, 12 x 4 metres.”

So how is the time indicated on the sundial? I can see the numbers around the circumference, but no indicator.
