Agulhas Drifter is an immersive new media art project that connects gallery viewers with wave conditions in the open ocean. In June 2018, Cy Keener launched a custom blown glass buoy with embedded electronics into the Agulhas current off the coast of Durban, South Africa, and created an immersive light and sound installation that mirrored satellite transmitted wave data in near real time.
