The artwork is composed of a 2D ring matrix that spans the length of the 200-foot skybridge. Brought to life by real-time content it poses as a playfull interactive canvas while paying tribute to Tampa’s unique ecosystem and historic port as sites of exchange.

The digital content is based on a custom fluid simulation running behind the scenes as a dynamic flow field. Tracking the movements of people crossing the bridge as well as cars going under it, is translated into a continuous force deposition in the simulation. This dynamic canvas is populated by digital, area-preserving, entities (blobs) that interact with the ever-changing fluid dynamics. Their malleable form is mapped onto the artwork in a way that celebrates flowing energy.
