Reminds me of this Turkish artist Refik Anadol

https://refikanadol.com/works/bosphorus/

Bosphorus is a data sculpture inspired by high frequency radar data collections of Marmara Sea provided by Turkish State Meteorological Service in every 30 minutes intervals. The data collection of 30 days long sea surface activity transformed into a poetic experience and visualized on a 12 meters by 3 meters long LED media wall. The art work exhibited at Pilevneli Gallery on 11th of December, 2018 – 27th of January, 2019 in Istanbul, Turkey.



that's a cool experience. it's really mesmerizing and calming watch one or two of these machines, because of the way the waves move, similar to ocean waves. there's this video that shows it at the end: https://youtu.be/mYLvRaMmfho


It's amazing, but data sculpture ?

Really ?

Why do people feel the need to appeal to authority for the things they made. This has nothing to do with a sculpture. But it doesn't take anything away from its value.
