Tele-Present Water
This installation draws information from the intensity and movement of the water in a remote location. Wave data is being collected in real-time from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data buoy Station 46246 (49°59’7″ N 145°5’20″ W) on the Pacific Ocean. The wave intensity and frequency is scaled and transferred to the mechanical grid structure installed at The National Museum in Wroclaw, Poland. The result was a simulation of the physical effects caused by the movement of water from this distant location.
Mind. Blown.
That is a really beautiful and thoughtful installation. I imagine it would let you feel like you were in two places at once. NIce one, Sabich!
And how’s the view from beneath! AND it’s at, like, person-height. Ah! You know how some artworks just really get in your head and you think about them for years and you see them reflected in other moments and places? Well, I can feel a new obsession coming on…
Awesome, Rebecca! I thought it was one of the cooler installations I’ve seen in years because of the constant variability and “live ocean” feature. Just a brilliant idea. It is funny how watery movement, even in this form, can affect you.
nice one noah its interesting to see where creative practices are being invoked
