Flip-Disc Kinetic Art — Jumeirah Tide

Описание: Jumeirah Tide is a digitally controlled kinetic artwork that's a data visualization of the real-time tide at Jumeirah Beach — a white sand beach located and named after the Jumeirah district of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on the coast of the Persian Gulf. As the waves and depth of the tide change, so does the dynamic visualization of the piece.

As one walks up to the artwork, their image is reflected back—the contrast of their image changes based on the current tide.

Flip-Discs (also known as Flip Dots) are an electromagnetic mechanical medium of physically moving discs. Initially developed in the 1960s for airport signage and displays. BREAKFAST modernized the technology by re-engineering both hardware and software to substantially increase the speed at which each disc can flip and began creating unique, connected, interactive installations using the kinetic medium.
