Tidal is a ‘geofeedback’ installation that bridges the gap between waterbodies outside and inside us.

Walk into this dome, and find yourself underneath a suspended storm of metal and fabric clouds, illuminated with hundreds of LEDs.

In the center of the bridge stands a bowl full of clear water, reacting gently to the flow of the river. the lights within the installation mimic the motion of the river in realtime, pulling from tidal data and creating an enchanting sense of union to the watercycle, but trace your fingers inside the bowl of water, and watch as you start to stir up a storm, as the led’s react to the flow of water created by your movement.
