Sun and Moon by Brad Necyk and Jonathan Kawchuk
Sun and Moon is the opening of a 3-part virtual reality experience title Everywhen currently being created by Necyk and Kawchuk. It will be a journey about how various beings orient to the sun and moon, whether it be life on Earth or other celestial bodies caught or influenced by its gravity well.
