Cristina Tarquini (IT) created an interactive data visualisation, inviting you to dive into the ocean and explore the impact of rising temperatures & in turn rising CO2 levels on marine life, over time.
The artist uses point clouds to visualize data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and has created a unique virtual marine ecosystem. The projct shows the change happening both on water molecules acidifying and animal particles reacting. The technique was used to simulate water flow while visualizing the data within it. It also allows us to generate currents and simulate at its best life underwater, and helps us visualize the data in this flow of water.
