Overview
PC, microcomputers, LED displays, glass, various electronic components, internet, data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Using real-time weather data and a software algorithm, Ocean Poems 000001 constructs poems that interpret local weather patterns. Each poem is a one-time composition that will likely never occur again. This work takes a “Soft UX” approach to expressing data, asking viewers to consider the way that we interact with the information that surrounds us all.
Technical and architectural-integration assistance: Monique Duran, Tayo Falase, Quin Kennedy, Josh Borsman, and Wendy Morrison.
