About The Thinking Ocean
“The Thinking Ocean” is presented as a live exhibition event at Whitney Exhibitions, bringing Memo Akten and Katie Hofstadter into the museum’s performance context. Working at the seam between art and computation, it treats the ocean less as scenery than as a system to be modeled, listened to, and argued with. In a city where climate is often discussed in policy terms, the piece reframes it as perception and data. Its restraint is the point, though at times the concept reads clearer than the human stake.
