Murano//HUD:$ync.DF projects simulated Murano glass onto the Daniels & Fisher Tower — Denver's 1911 replica of the Campanile di San Marco. The original collapsed in 1902 and was rebuilt as the copy rose; for a moment, neither was the source. The piece returns the simulation to its material: Venetian glass on a Venetian ghost. Across the facade, the glass twitches in sync with passing seconds — a heads-up display with no readout, time rendered as surface rather than number. The tower keeps time the way glass keeps light: by refusing to hold still.

The series began with The Abbe Number on the Jenoptik tower in Jena, 2025.

The tower drawn up from the 3D model Night Lights Denver gives its artists (by 3D Data Pro): the south-east face towards Arapahoe Street, 40 × 140 feet of light, thrown by ten projectors from the last level below the roof of the parking garage across the plaza, about 130 metres away.
