The endlessly morphing sunset/sunrise/moonrise of sun[set] provisioning alludes to the phenomenon of spectacular sunsets that occur only because of high amounts of pollution in the atmosphere. The work mimics these (un)natural sunsets by measuring the levels of local pollution and, as the level increases, the more spectacular and colourful the computer generated scene is.
