Tidal Shift is immersive experience that speaks to the senses while replicating the tidal heights in Howth, Dublin.

There are patterns in nature we can see and understand but there are also patterns we cannot seem to figure out. Tidal Shift explores the changeability of the sea and aims to replicate its ebb and flow behaviour using technology and intricate mechanisms.

Kerrie O'Leary's work explores replicating the movement of nature using technology. She uses computational methods and mathematical algorithms to turn datasets into tangible artefacts and immersive installations. She grew up in Howth, a coastal village in Dublin and it is evident that these seaside surroundings have significant influence in on her work. She received her undergraduate degree in Management Science and Information Systems, where her curiosity for systems and data stems from. She is currently doing an MFA Computational Arts in Goldsmiths University, London.
