Tidal Transmissions: Navigation is a live audiovisual work by CROSSLUCID, centered on T I D E (Tidal Intelligence Data Engine) — a self-evolving ecosystem of AI entities that process real-time oceanic data and adapt how they communicate in response to changing conditions.

Drawing on Indigenous Pacific navigation practices, particularly Marshallese stick charts that map wave interference patterns, the work reimagines orientation not as a fixed position, but as a dynamic relationship between forces. In this framework, signals emerge from apparent noise, and cognition is distributed rather than contained.

Following the performance, Claire Isabel Webb joins Sylwana Zybura and Tomas C. Toth from CROSSLUCID and Sayaka Botanic for a panel discussion.
