The installation consists of four videos. Each video displays a different artificial sea. These are listed in the library of MAYA2009, a 3D animation and rendering software. This software provides four Ocean Shaders, they simulate: calm sea, giant storm, high seas and a normal sea. The basic shapes for geometry; a circle, a square, a rectangle, and a triangle, added in each scene. The sound is computer generated, recorded in the 1950 ‘s, used as first music samples. The range of tunes could never be done by instruments. The work compares the thought process of man with that of the computer.
