The development of large-scale renewable sources of energy has become the quest of our time and the only possible future. Solar energy, therefore, has emerged as one of our saviors; the sun is once again the god of life. But what will happen when the sun disappears? Should we plan for such a distant future? Can we even imagine it? What happens after the future?
The End of the Sun is a countdown system that utilizes solar energy to bring us closer to the distant future in which the sun will consume all its fuel and cool down — in about 14.4 billion years. Thus, this installation is a paradoxical countdown timer that starts at 454.118.400.000.000.000 (the number of seconds in 14.4 billion years) and utilizes solar energy to power its display and the electronic system.
El desarrollo de fuentes de energía sustentable es uno de los principales desafíos contemporáneos y la única manera de imaginar un futuro posible. La energía solar emerge como una de las opciones con mayor potencial, el sol es una vez mas el dios de la vida. Pero, ¿qué pasará cuando el sol desaparezca? ¿deberíamos planear para un futuro tan lejano? ¿podemos si quiera imaginarlo? El Fin del Sol es una cuenta regresiva que nos acerca a ese futuro tan remoto cuando el sol agote todo su combustible y se vuelva invisible al ojo humano. Contando hacia atrás desde 454.118.400.000.000.000 (la cantidad de segundos en 14.4 billones de años) la instalación utiliza energía solar para alimentar el sistema electrónico que anuncia su fin.
