In Jorge Luis Borges’s short story "The Aleph," the Argentine author and librarian imagined a spinning iridescent sphere that served as a window through which the characters could see the the infinity of the universe with perfect clarity. While visual designer Daria Jelonek hasn’t done quite that (yet), she no doubt would have impressed Borges with her web project PHÕS, an interactive site that deals with light, space, and time.Using a combination of web design, video, photography and the concept of broadcasting, Jelonek’s PHÕS shows 24 hours of light in different places of the world.
