Dublin City Council and Dublin Port Company present a public art installation

Created by artist Cliona Harmey, this new piece of public artwork brings to life the movements ships in Dublin Port daily, creating a strong visual and cultural link between the port and the city in full view of Dublin’s citizens, commuters and pedestrians. The artwork is generated from live electronic signals which track the arrival and departure of each ship in Dublin Port. The name of the ship is then transmitted in real-time to two large LED screens facing towards the city, and remains illuminated in black and white until the next ship either arrives in or leaves the port.

Dublin Ships is a temporary public artwork commissioned by Dublin City Council as part of the Dublin City Public Art Programme and funded by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government under the Per Cent for Art Scheme and by the Dublin Port Company.
