Uncertain Tides is an art installation that explores the complexity of climate change through uncertainty, speculation, and scientific research. in the first room, a control center, visitors can activate six scenarios simulating CO₂ increases and their impact on the North Sea. the higher the increase, the more uncertain the future and the harder it becomes to take appropriate action. the installation highlights that, just as in reality, we still have influence over our future. the visuals in the installation are sourced from three types of archives: the artist’s archive, public archives, and scientific archives such as those of the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ). the second room offers an immersive experience of rising sea temperatures disrupting marine ecosystems. studio.POC visualized microscopic plankton, creating a world that reflects the ocean’s biodiversity. as the water warms, the environment becomes increasingly abstract and uncertain, mirroring the unpredictability of climate projections.
