    Tips

    December 10, 2019

    Since the dawn of the Internet our browsers have been anchored in the mythologies of early globalization and have taken names such as ‘Navigator’, ‘Explorer’ or later, ‘Safari’. This work is based on the logo of the discontinued search engine ‘Netscape Navigator’, which lost its web dominance to Microsoft Explorer in the late nineties.
    Product of the Beaufort art project, the sculpture is positioned against the backdrop of the natural spectacle of the North Sea, but out of sight a mesh of submarine communication cables, the physical make-up of the Internet, run along the seabed. How fitting that Westende, a municipality developed by the family of Paul Otlet, a prescient of the Internet, hosts this manifestation of an influential but short-lived Internet software application.
    Location: Beach zone at the Kwinte, Koning Ridderdijk 100, Middelkerke

      The steering wheel on the beach takes you with a lot of imagination into the experience as if you are at the wheel of a ship.
