Unique Properties: This artwork is a visualisation of the momentary shape of a wave in perfect shape for surfing, which retains its aesthetics forever, through a creative process that mixes reality and virtual reality. It attempts to generate an experience in nature and reaffirms the supple strength of human cognitive abilities that select actively beautiful experiences to create a better future, and a sense of human existence that will remain unchanged forever, even in a future where reality is in chaos.

Production Technology: The artwork was created through a playful creative process, between digital and physical, 2D and 3D, mixing reality and virtual reality. The hand-drawn intuitive sketches of waves and the simulation of ‘good waves’ suitable for surfing using ocean physics were combined to create the shape using stone powder in collaboration with EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne). The three-views that merged the two methods were used to create the hand-formed shapes. Surprisingly the aesthetic curves from the skilled hand-drawn sketches were very close to the simulation. And the sculptures were 3D scanned, output onto transparent materials, and photographed in the actual sea to create the digital artwork.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge in this research was to design an interaction that generates an awareness of what could reaffirm the supple strength of human cognitive abilities that actively select beautiful experiences to create a better future and a sense of human existence that will remain unchanged forever in the chaotic era. To this end, we attempted to create the artwork through a playful creative process between digital and physical, 2D and 3D, mixing reality and virtual reality.
Research: The research question for this artwork is what design can help to make you connected to nature in order to live better in the chaotic era of reality and intended to express the momentary shape of a wave in perfect shape for surfing, which retains its aesthetics forever. It was created by mixing reality and virtual reality in collaboration with Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. It generates the experience in nature and reaffirms the supple strength of human cognitive abilities.
Inspiration: Modern technology makes it easy to replicate visual representations that are indistinguishable from reality these days. The metaverse has become one of the spaces in which we humans exist, and the definition of existence is being distorted. However, we live in ever-changing times and continue to evolve, recognising and accepting flexibly the chaos of reality and the unreality that technology brings. The artwork attempts to express eternal existence with positive hope.
Project Duration: This artwork was launched worldwide, in May 2023. It will be open to the public for a minimum of five years. (It will be extended wherever possible).
Operation Flow: These are videos and static images as digital artworks.
