    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    The digital totems are smart weather stations that collect and display environmental and local information for tourists and visitors of beaches and waterfronts in the Canary Islands.The design is inspired by the aboriginal ceramic art pieces from the indigenous inhabitants of the islands. This art was based on the worship of the sun god "Magheq".
    The totem performs as a seasonal sundial, thanks to a perforation at the top of the wooden ring. Once a year, during the winter solstice, the sunlight goes through the hole and aligns perfectly with a customized survey pin on the ground.
