The artwork Waves is a three-dimensional light installation that illustrates waves of data connected to Klaus Hasselmann’s Nobel Prize awarded research into earth’s climate models.
Each individual LED light of the large-scale installation is programmed to react to rapidly updated climate information, such as the speed of the wind. The data, transformed into dynamic waves of light, is sourced from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, where Klaus Hasselmann (Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics 2021) worked when studying the physical modeling of the earth’s climate – a discovery that can help us predict global warming.
Waves is connected to Hasselmann’s research by showcasing a wave phenomenon – through live weather data. This coupling changes the installation from a pre-choreographed experience into a live translation of earth’s natural phenomena.
