May 30th - June 30th 2026

As a journey of artistic exploration by the Creative Occupation collective, the project invites us to think with the process of the great ‘global conveyor belt’ that underpins the continuous movement of the oceans. This silent deep-water current system is essential to the balance of life on Earth – yet it pulses in a circular rhythm beyond human scale at every level.  

The project began with an urge to know whether Thermohaline Circulation could provoke an idea on how humanity might similarly work in a harmonious flow. By looking to the magnificent forces of the seas, we were interested in: what is the ‘interflow’ of environment and humanity? 

With an attention to self-sufficiency and balance within the circulatory motion along the undulating path of the ocean current system, the installation mirrors the forces and mechanics of Thermohaline Circulation. In doing so, it is there to drive activities of thinking through a new collective process experience. 

Artistic team: Michael Morgan, Andy Davies, Jennifer McElwee, Jessica Laraine Williams, and Marita Batna. Sound: James x Caution.
