SeaPoint was a collaborative daily project by Dennis McNulty and Cliona Harmey inspired by the Beaufort Scale (for use at sea), which measures wind speed by observing the visual effects of wind on water. Each day for 28 days, Harmey recorded a 10 second video of the Irish Sea and allocated it a number and description from the Beaufort Scale. This measurement, combined with various chance procedures, was applied to the concurrent audio recording in a resampling process devised by McNulty. Then, the audio and video were recombined as a short Flash film.
