Unpredictable Tides

通过用数值指数对水流进行抽象，潮汐通常被认为是一种可预测的规律运动。然而，潮汐预测是基于一系列各种潮汐成分，包括天文强迫，天气条件和许多其他因素，使潮汐非常复杂。任何潮汐阅读的背后都是杂色的溪流和意想不到的模式（McCully，2007年），它们是永久变化的，并受到技术和有机，大气和行星际的复杂合奏的影响。在创造性实践的引导下，这项研究将把潮汐作为一种可预测和可量化的模式的科学构造进行分析（Steinberg，2001），提出了一种潮汐过程的定位方法。通过沿着泰晤士河的案例研究，我将了解潮间带建筑以及人类和非人类物种如何与潮汐合作。然后，我将开发艺术品，试图使潮流不同的可用性和提高认识。

Through an abstraction of flow by numerical indices, the tide is generally perceived as one predictable and regular movement. Yet, tidal predictions are based on an array of various tidal constituents involving astronomical forcing, weather conditions and many other factors, making the tide immensely complex. Behind any tide reading are variegated streams and unexpected patterns (McCully, 2007) that are permanently changing and affected by a complex ensemble, technical and organic, atmospheric and interplanetary. Led by creative practices, this research will analyse the tide as a scientific construct of a predictable and quantifiable pattern (Steinberg, 2001), proposing instead a situated approach towards tidal processes. Using case studies along the Thames, I will develop an understanding of intertidal architecture and how human and non human species collaborate with the tide. I will then develop artworks in the attempt to make the tide differently available and raise awareness.
