Ocean Deep - Behind the scenes

Ocean Deep is an exploration of the mysterious and endangered ecosystems beneath the ocean’s surface, where art and technology converge to reveal both beauty and vulnerability.

The exhibition combines Marpi Studio's The Nordic Ocean Series with Sissel Marie Tonn's The Sentinel Self, taking the audience on a journey deep into the ocean's inner life and the challenges it faces.

In The Nordic Ocean Series, the audience is invited into a digital universe filled with futuristic and organic ocean creatures, where vibrant colors and dynamic projections visualize the fragile yet magnificent world underwater. The work unfolds in the S-Lab, a space that transforms into a kind of reverse aquarium where the audience can interact with fascinating beings.

Sissel Marie Tonn’s The Sentinel Self explores the connections between the human body and ocean ecosystems, where microplastics invade both the external environment and our own immune systems. Through interactive simulations of cell-like organisms, the audience experiences an ever-changing world where pollution threatens the balance.

Together, these works offer a powerful reflection on the interaction between humanity, technology, and nature, presenting the ocean's depths as both a home of beauty and a reminder of our impact on the environment.
