Algaerhythmic Waves is an immersive, modular, and interactive installation that explores the synchronization of human and non-human rhythms through sound, movement, and generative algorithms. The project invites participants to attune to water as a process, relation, and interface. Drawing from the dynamics of water surface flows and waves, the installation frames water as “the original mirror,” translating collective presence into oscillating visual and sonic patterns shaped by algae-inspired forms. The work combines EEG brain signals, gestural and speech recognition technologies, and near real-time environmental data to form a generative feedback loop in which emergent audiovisual material is self-referentially played back into the space, subtly influencing how visitors move, listen, and entrain to one another and to water. Conceptually, the project draws from psychological and environmental entrainment, hydrofeminism, and deep listening, while also building on Melody Jue’s Wild Blue Media and Donna Haraway’s notion of the Chthulucene to treat water as an interface for interspecies co-creation. The installation is developed through a production residency and is open to attendees for interaction during the final two days of the production residency.Artists-in-residence:
Kimberley Bianca is an Australian media artist, designer, and educator based in Florida, and Assistant Professor of Interactive Media at Daytona State College. Her practice-led research and teaching explore participatory and multimodal approaches to art, science, and environmental communication, with a focus on creative process, experimentation, and critical engagement with technology. Kimberley’s background as a VJ, video editor, and AV technician in industry and DIY contexts continues to inform her hands-on, workshop-based pedagogy and collaborative art practice. Her ongoing audiovisual project, Disaster Girl, examines crisis, irony, and resilience through cybernetic performance, video projection, and musical collaboration.

Tyler Grimes is a media artist, educator, and combined-PhD candidate in Critical Media Practices and Cognitive Science at CU Boulder. He has a background in visual communications, which is supplemented by a Photographic and Electronic Media MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. His practice-led research seeks to deepen our connection to both real and ‘rendered’ environments by creating contemplative spaces where the dualities between real // rendered and self // non-self come into question. His genres span video installation, emergent technologies, photography, writing, performance, and ecologically-engaged art projects.
