Boston
Tides
Reed, wood, data, 6’x 6’ x2’, 2006
Using a base of 24 hours, this piece converts various layers of
data (Jan-Dec 2005) related to the gravitational influence of both
Sun and Moon on tides recorded at Boston Harbor. The inner structure
converts sunrise/set and moonrise/set data into the woven structure,
with every weave representing one hour. Additional data translated
include tide readings, moon phases and the solar path in relation
to the horizon. |
