Omnigaze is the annual action during which attendees in different locations around the world join together to direct their looks towards the same point into the sky. The ultimate number of people involved in the action would be the population of the world.
The tenth omnigaze will take place on Sunday 23rd of August 2020 at 12:00 PM GMT (14:00 Amsterdam time)
How to perform omnigaze from Joubin on Vimeo.
Attendees can perform the action in any location, individually or in groups.
Adjusting the direction of the gaze for each individual is achieved by using an omnigaze device.
To find the shared point of view in the sky, the omnigaze attendees use the omnigaze device.
The current omnigaze device (version 2) uses the the sun, horizon and attendee’s location to determine this shared view point. The device can be downloaded, printed on an A4 paper and then cut and folded.
The omnigaze device is calibrated for regions of Reykjavik, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Athens, Istanbul, Tehran and Baghdad. Other locations can also be included upon request.
