Urban Flow
Interactive Installation: 2008Collaborators: Sandyha Moraes & Sayoko Yoshida
Inspired to bring the natural phenomenon of tides to an urban and particularly business setting, URBAN FLOW
seeks to create an environment visualizing wave patterns at different tides. Because high/low tides occur twice daily (every 6 hours) the
ocean tides at times coincide with the tides of workers coming to and leaving work. This piece poetically brings the natural environment
to within reach of often disconnected workers when installed in a work place lobby.
Additionally, it draws connection to the island of Manhattan and the tidal flows of the water that surrounds it.
