DATA ART STUDIO
The Ocean,
Quantified.
A beautifully designed, data-driven tide chart for the entire 2026-2027 Matariki year. Designed for surfers, sailors, beachgoers, and coastal lovers, this poster translates complex tidal data into a stunning piece of modern wall art.

THE METHOD
Mapping the Tides.
Mathematical Precision
We ingest raw CSV files directly from government agencies like LINZ. Every single curve and coordinate on your poster represents a mathematically precise tidal measurement for every single day of the year.
Modern Minimalism
Say goodbye to cluttered nautical charts. Our designs distill complex harmonic data into deeply aesthetic, minimalist matrices. Perfect for contemporary architectural spaces.
Digital Perfection
Encoded as infinitely scalable vector components and exported to ultra high-resolution PDFs. Whether you print at A4 for a desk or scale up to A0 for a gallery wall, every line remains flawlessly crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the poster show 2026-2027?
Our collection follows the Māori New Year, which begins in June/July 2026 and ends in June 2027 when Matariki rises again. This means the poster covers the full cycle from July 2026 through June 2027 — the complete tidal year for this region.
Does the poster show the whole year?
Yes. Each poster maps out the complete 12-month tidal cycle for the 2026-2027 Matariki year (July 2026 – June 2027), laid out in a 12-month by 31-day matrix.
Is the data accurate?
Yes. Our generated prints rely on true mathematical models and telemetry from government agencies like LINZ to accurately display the harmonic constants and amplitudes of local tides. Unlike cheap generic charts, your artwork is a mathematically correct representation of the ocean's rhythm.
What do I get when I purchase?
You can choose to purchase a premium physical print, fully framed or rolled in a tube, which we ship directly to your door anywhere in New Zealand. Alternatively, you can buy a massive-resolution digital download PDF. Because we render our matrices using natively scalable SVG vectors, your digital file can be sent to a professional printer and scaled all the way up to A0 dimensions without losing a single pixel of clarity.
