Unpredictable Tides

通过用数字指标对流量进行抽象，潮汐通常被认为是一种可预测的、规则的运动。然而，潮汐预测是基于一系列不同的潮汐成分，涉及天文强迫、天气条件和许多其他因素，使潮汐变得极其复杂。任何潮汐读数的背后都是五花八门的溪流和意想不到的模式(麦卡利，2007)，它们正在永久地改变，并受到复杂的整体、技术和有机、大气和星际的影响。在创造性实践的指导下，这项研究将分析潮汐作为一种可预测和可量化模式的科学构造(Steinberg，2001)，转而提出一种针对潮汐过程的情景方法。通过泰晤士河沿岸的案例研究，我将加深对潮间带建筑的理解，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，试图让潮水以不同的方式出现，并提高人们的意识。

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.
