kinetic sculpture by artist david bowen mimics ocean waves from a distant land. as time passes, its mechanical form and sound transform into a hypnotic rhythm, fading forward ideas of energy and infinite boundaries.

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.
