️ A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves https://www.artsupp.com/en/artists/julius-von-bismarck/die-mimik-der-tethys

@Natasha_Jay having read the blurb on the link, I think this is a clever piece of construction, but fails to communicate, and arguably isn't art. I'm glad it's original and provocative though.

I really love his artwork! Although almost 20y old, this is still one of my favourite projects:

Very interesting concept. I like this unusual art installation, thanks for sharing.

@agturcz @Natasha_Jay I was going to ask the same thing. I'd imagine though that the mechanism is paused when it gets too wild out there?
