How the Sun Sees You

Description: In this video artist Thomas Leveritt sets up an ultraviolet camera so that people could see what their skin looks like under ultraviolet light. One of the most dramatic parts of the video is when sunscreen is added completely blocking the UV light. This phenomenon can be used to show the Sun's impact on the surfaces in kindergarten. It also shows the importance of sunscreen in protecting our genetic material from mutations that may lead to cancer.

We showed people what they looked like in ultraviolet, & wondered aloud if they wanted to put on some damn sunscreen already. https://twitter.com/thomasleveritt Music: 'Summer in the City - Starcadian remix' by Freedom Fry http://freedomfry.bandcamp.com/track/summer-in-the-city-starcadian-remix They are awesome.
