CyberMarinum is an art installation that blends interactive technology with oceanographic data to create a dynamic experience. This exploration was crafted for the exhibition Decade of the Oceans - The First National Crypto Art Exhibition, sponsored by the Bank of Brazil.

Utilizing sensors to monitor water quality and powered by Reaction Diffusion synthesis, the piece also features an AI model that responds to audience movements captured via video. The Reaction Diffusion equations, typically used in chemical systems, symbolically represent physical phenomena. As viewers interact and disrupt the system’s equilibrium, the artwork metaphorically illustrates human impact on the oceans, encouraging reflection on water quality and the vital importance of marine ecosystems.

CyberMarinum is a collaborative interspecies artwork, nurtured and maintained by computational data. It consists of a simulated marine ecosystem inside a transparent water tank, utilizing interactive sensor technology and dynamic lighting. The installation includes real marine plants selected to represent the diversity and importance of marine ecosystems. The poetic narrative addresses the importance of marine ecosystems and how human actions can affect these delicate systems. By interacting with the sensors and observing the resulting visual changes, visitors are encouraged to reflect on their role in ocean preservation and the need for environmental protection. The installation uses interactive sensor technology, a customized control system, and adaptive lighting to create an immersive and sensory experience that integrates visitor data into the simulated ecosystem with real-time projection. This artpiece was created along with artists Suzete Venturelli and Artur Cabral.
