The Light Standard Series reintroduces the idea of cosmic time linked to natural cycles as a reference system. Each standard corresponds to an object of the solar system and matches the time that light takes to reach the earth from each one of these objects. Hence roughly 8 min for the Sun, 2 to 15 min for Venus, 3 to 22 min for Mars, 2h 23 to 2h 55 for Uranus.

The variable amplitude of each Light Standard follows in real-time the distance between us and each planet in the solar system. On the length of one metre, the LED light reproduces this duration that evolves throughout the year, while taking as reference the true position of the planets according to the predictions of NASA.

The constant oscillations of each Light Standard - scheduled until the year 3000 - seem to free themselves from a fragmented metric time scale, changing instant thinking into long-term perception. Within the entropy of space, the standards are a testimony to our commitment to a planetary system (a common heritage shared by all of humankind) and to a physiological link of species to light.
