Applications Art - Rafik Anadol Rafik Anadol creates multi-sensory art installations by using data sets as fodder and processing them into a machine, specifically machine learning algorithms, to sort and filter the data to be visualised. The data is visualised in mesmerising fluid shapes14. These “data sculptures” are embedded into architecture to make the building “process memories, dream and hallucinate”. The following is called Bosphorous. The description provided by Rafik Anadol is as follows - “A data sculpture that explores the rhythms of Marmara Sea in Turkey to visualise the poetic experience of the organic movement. Inspired by high-frequency radar collections, taken in 30-minute intervals for 30 days, Bosphorus transforms long sea surface activity into a kinetic piece of art.”
