The world’s largest heart returns to the ocean.

This Miami Art Week, REEFLINE will unveil its second phase: Heart of Okeanos, a monumental 26.1-ton underwater sculpture by British artist @petrocsesti, inspired by the heart of a blue whale.

The work draws on the extraordinary story of a whale that washed ashore in Newfoundland in 2014. Its heart was recovered and preserved by scientists at the Royal Ontario Museum, becoming the inspiration for Sesti’s vision of one day returning it to the ocean.

Conceived as both an artwork and a hybrid reef, the sculpture will find its underwater home off 4th–5th Streets in Miami Beach, where marine life will gradually transform it into a living ecosystem.

HEART OF OKEANOS: FIELD NOTES
· 26.1 tons of sculpture
· 17 ft long x 9.5 ft wide x 7.6 ft high
· 20 ft beneath the surface
· 25°46.38277′ N · 80°07.44907′ W

Expected deployment: December 2026, weather permitting.

More details coming soon.

It’s an honor to be a part of the inaugural @mitfuturefest! Huge shoutouts to @michaeljohngorman, @tanitajenderes, and the entire future fest team for their outstanding vision and leadership. It’s long overdue for @mit to open its doors to the world in this way, so thank you for making this happen.

Reef of the Future | It’s a privilege to both collaborate and share the stage with two forces of nature (literally and figuratively!), @xcaminos (@thereefline) and @skylartibbits (@selfassemblylab), who are both doing pioneering work with coral reefs across geological and cultural scales. We are working on something really special together—not only technologies for fabricating and bringing new life to reefs, but also cultural approaches for inviting coastal communities as artistic and scientific co-designers.

The Next 250 Years | Thanks to the 🐐@johnkwerner for inviting me to be a part of a conversation imagining America’s next 250 years. What kind of technological future do we actually want—and who gets to shape it? I’ll share thoughts on the importance of values in technology, how AI, robotics, and biotech can be designed to empower and uplift people across diverse communities, ways to dramatically expand access to scientific and technological tools and knowledge, and why human and planetary agency needs to be at the center of the next 250 years.

Last but not least, you MUST come to PARTY2099. I am so proud of the creativity and work that has been put in by co-presenters @blknws, @sojourn_boston, and @basement_prjct, all trailblazers in culture grinding away to bring underground art to Boston and the world. We will have two stages with state-of-the-art sound and also members of the @livecode.boston
community sharing their work. You won’t want to miss this!

The party is free and open to all, just register at the link in my bio.

See you all this week at @mitfuturefest!!!

Anatomy Of The Void ⚗️A solar powered sculpture by Petroc Sesti, situated in the courtyard of our hotel @thestratford ✨ It's the largest instalment to date in the development of fluid artworks that contain states of chaos and order. The sculpture weighs over five tons and stands seven meters tall, allowing a perpetual vortex of spinning liquid contained within a two meter sphere. Inspired by the scientific principles of optics, cosmology and astrophysics 🔮 See it for yourself at The Stratford. Photo by @photos_by_hazza_nic
