Memo Akten & Katie Hofstadter: The Thinking Ocean

About the exhibition

The Thinking Ocean by Memo Akten and Katie Hofstadter is part of the artists’ series Cosmosapience, and simulates a dynamic body of water, fluctuating between the physics of fluids and the logic of code. Viewers can navigate a seemingly organic underwater scene, with drifting clouds of particulate matter and swirls of bubbles. The procedurally constructed environment becomes increasingly abstracted, morphing into patterns reminiscent of organic cell structures, circuitry, and code. Currents gene
