Generative Art - Waves on Waves

Installation
This is an era of technology. Ways how we deliver and perceive information varies as technology develops. The Nature and technology interweave and conflict with each other throughout our lives. While we are looking at a picture of a forest, are we looking at the natural forest itself, or millions of pixels that constructs this picture?

Based on a python code that translates pictures into surfaces in Rhino according to RGB values of each pixels, I made a video of Rhino waves out of a video of actual waves in the sea. By projecting "Rhino waves" onto physical waves in the pool, I created a juxtaposition of computer generated waves, physical waves and the reflection of waves on the ceiling.
Prototype - "Rhino waves" translated from a movie clip
Prototype - putting "Rhino waves" translated from sea waves back on sea waves
Prototype - giving "Rhino waves" color of waves
