Tele-Present Water | David Bowen

This installation shows in real time the physical movement of the surface of the water, the intensity and movement of the sea’s waves at a specific location, buoy number 46075 of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, located in the Shumagin Islands of Alaska (53° 54′ 39″ N and 160° 48′ 21″ W). The data are transferred in real time, scaled on a mechanical metal grid structure, obtaining a simulation of the physical effects caused by the water’s movement as a result.
