A networked, real-time 3D installation exploring the relationship between astronomy and broadcast media. Documentation URL: takeo.org/nspace/ns030/ Data_Sea is a real-time virtual environment based upon this relationship between broadcast media and astronomy. The core geometry of the artwork is directly derived from the actual positions of all catalogued star systems residing within the Radiosphere. Obtained from current astronomical databases such as the Hipparcos star catalogue, these scientific measurements have been translated into a three-dimensional structure constructed in Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML).
