More&More (the invisible oceans) software

2016

Custom animated software in custom powder-coated steel housing

Production: Sarah Rothberg<br>
Software: Sam Brenner

Commissioned in part by Borusan Contemporary

Unifying the disparate commodities from large port nations into a phantasmagoric depot, MORE&MORE: China, India, Japan, Mexico, Turkey, USA, Russia, and Brazil are eight sculptural animations with custom algorithmic software generating hypnotic patterns of export products. These exports are both material trade items as noted in the Harmonized System (HS) tariff code and the nations’ cultural signifiers. Changing weather, the rising and setting sun, and cycles of the moon illustrate that while time passes, ports are always open and shipping never stops.
