Celebrating Art Week Miami Beach Tuesday 29th at 5.30 pm one of ReefLine’s reef modules, "Heart of Okeanos” by British artist Petroc Sesti will be unveiled at the Cathedral of the Faena Hotel . The ReefLine is a 7 mile underwater sculpture park and artificial reef running parallel to the shore in Miami Beach, founded by Ximena Caminos. Mimicking the actual heart of a stranded blue whale, this sculpture by Petroc Sesti was carefully designed for the creatures that inhabit them. Crafted in CarbonXinc—an experimental material capable of sequestering significant quantities of greenhouse gasses—and seeded with living corals, the giant artwork will become an idyllic haven for marine lifeforms and a powerful guidepost as other artists and environmentalists chart their own conservation journeys. In collaboration with Decentraland Foundation , "Heart of Okeanos” will present its digital twin inside the virtual world. The environment is a dynamic space, where Heart of Okeanos sculpture transforms in real time based on real time data collected from the oceans. The digital version is built by the artists Juan Pablo Colasso, Bence Vargas and ReefLines digital Master planner Architect Guido Elgueta, with production support of Agustin Di Luciano, and development of William Caine III.
