Artificial Jellyfish

In collaboration with Mindaugas Miselis

Artificial Jellyfish is a series of objects designed to drift in the water and capture the underwater environment. The chosen design references a poignant symbol of the beauty and fragility of our oceans. While drifting in waters, the jellyfish narrates the profound impact of global warming and ecological degradation on our planet.

The objects crafted from plastic and electronic components capture photos in real-time from different locations. By harnessing the power of solar cells, these artificial jellyfish continuously capture images, offering viewers a glimpse into the beauty and vulnerability of our oceans.
