Rising sea temperatures along Mumbai’s coast are reshaping everything, from erratic monsoon behaviour to depleted oxygen levels, disrupted marine life, and the steady erosion of the city’s edge. The Living Shore by Lake Heckaman, translates these shifts into an interactive environment where climate change becomes something you feel, not just understand.
Inside the 360° room, abstract heat currents, Mumbai’s dense coastline, and photoreal tide-pools respond instantly to movement. A small gesture can warm a current, fracture the cityscape, or dissolve tide-pool life, mirroring how minor changes accumulate into large-scale disruption. The space is carried by a soundscape built from underwater field recordings, allowing visitors to step inside the sensory reality of changing oceans.
Designed as an ecology-driven, data-layered experience, The Living Shore makes visible the connection between global warming, regional ocean heating, and the fragile coastal systems that hold Mumbai together.
Come experience this multi-sensory installation at Conscious Collective 2025, where new media, culture, and the future of expression meet.
