data practices.

suezcanal.xyz is a creative studio combining artistic practice with computational analysis. We develop maritime simulations, research platforms, spatial interfaces and installations. Each project begins with source material and a defined question, then proceeds through modelling, prototyping and public presentation.

Republic

Republic is a navigable counter-geography of routes, borders and imagined jurisdictions. It uses the visual and administrative language of states to examine how territory becomes credible, governable and contestable.

The interface connects mapped evidence, spatial claims and computational objects within a revisable geographic system.

Selected projects

Digital platformAGPL-3.0

SeaCommons / Maritime systems

An open research platform for evidence at sea.

SeaCommons brings distress reports, environmental observations, vessel data and drift models into one interface. Every result retains its sources, parameters and model run, including the uncertainty attached to them.

Republic / Counter-geography

A counter-geography of routes and jurisdiction.

Republic is a navigable counter-geography of routes, borders and imagined jurisdictions. By borrowing the visual and administrative language of states, it studies how territory becomes credible, governable and contestable.

Works / Material and computational studies

Installations, objects and software as research methods.

These projects use installations, simulations and field research to test how evidence, authority and jurisdiction take shape. Software and equipment produce the records that each work examines.

Capabilities

Methods follow the project.

Scope follows the evidence, audience and technical demands of the work. The studio can lead a complete commission or take responsibility for a defined research, design or engineering phase.
