During the years 1989 through 1992 Peter Erskine created a new interactive Solar spectrum art medium called Secrets of the Sun: Millennial Meditations (SOS). Since 1992, Erskine has exhibited this art in international installations including the ancient Roman Forum, Berlin, Germany, and Los Angeles' historic Union Station. This natural environmental art has universal appeal. SOS has received broad coverage in the world media including seven magazine cover stories in four languages, over 100 articles in magazines and newspapers, and six global satellite TV broadcasts. TV and radio stories featuring Erskine's Solar Spectrum Art have been broadcast in over 150 countries.
