Diving into the Deep Blue
We know more about the far side of the moon than we do about our own oceans.
Deep Sea aims to change that a little.
Since March 15th, Europe’s tallest exhibition hall, the Gasometer Oberhausen, has been taking visitors on a journey down to the fascinating depths of the world’s oceans with its new permanent exhibition. The highlight of the exhibition is The Wave: a projection over 1,000 square meters in size, on which lifelike animations from the mysterious world of the sea are brought to life.
With this artistic creation, Ars Electronica Solutions is attempting to give viewers an entirely new perspective.
The Wave takes us below the surface of the ocean, reveals the underlying beauty and hidden magic of the underwater world, allowing us to get up close and personal with life-size sea creatures such as humpback whales.
