TIDAL SHIFTS takes place at NEO Gallery, a contemporary art space in Nice’s Port district—just steps from the UNOC3 Blue Zone and a 10-minute walk from the Palais des Congrès (Green Zone). Throughout the week, the gallery will host a wide range of activities open to all.
In addition to immersive installations and audiovisual works, the program features daily panels, community discussions, film screenings, and sound-based experiences that connect ocean science with art, culture, and public dialogue.
Bringing together artists, researchers, educators, and youth voices, TIDAL SHIFTS offers a space to explore how creative collaboration can contribute to marine conservation and recognize the Ocean as a source of knowledge, connection, and wonder.
Carbon in the Current: Contrasting Futures for Our Changing Ocean
3D DIGITAL ANIMATION (ongoing)
Presented by: OA Alliance
In Collaboration with: PangeaSeed & ETH Zurich
A 3D digital artistic animation conveying the impact of climate change on our ocean.
Carbon in the Current draws upon the ETH Zurich Ocean Acidification Stripes, an innovative project which uses a stunning spectrum of colorful stripes to visually represent the rapid rate of change in ocean acidification recorded by global and regional observations over the past 40 years. Art makes science relatable, memorable, and motivational. By combining them, we aim to make the unseen impacts of climate-ocean change seen and emotionally felt.
