Camille Utterback’s dynamically generated installation revealed the ways in which the Bay and the Golden Gate have changed — and continue to change — over time. On an array of monitors arranged in a curving pattern that roughly mimics the shape of the Golden Gate’s shores, animated renderings of flow patterns visualized the daily and historical shifts in the Bay’s shoreline, sea floor, and water currents.
