Tender Salute

Tender Salute is a digital representation of the sea and maritime transport. The work was created in cooperation with the Simulation Centre of Estonian Maritime Academy, which carried out the scenario and choreography of the ships I chose. The work questions the constant growth of world trade, of which 90% travels through the sea.

On the one hand the material is based on fully functional simulation, where every parameter—speed, mass and properties of the ship and sea—are computed to exactly coincide with the real information. On the other hand, the chosen scenario does not happen in “real life” and is a representation. To add another layer I'm using direct filming from the screen, which adds some visual “errors” like flicker to create additional distance.
