30° is a data visualization of marine data in the form of an installation. The measurement data originate from the thirtieth longitude and are printed in chronological order in small typography on three translucent surfaces with a total size of almost 3 x 4 meters. The installation makes the dataset visually readable by illuminating the individual measuring points by a projector located behind the surfaces. Short animations visualize parameters such as temperature, salinity, oxygen, or data fluctuations and comparisons of individual points of measurement. A scale allows the chronological classification of each measurement. 30° hopes to draw attention to the efforts of scientists who have dedicated their work to gaining a better understanding of the sea in order to preserve the world’s oceans.
