Beautiful im so impressed by this, original art taken to new levels

[@selenaocarina]

Imagine you're just swimming and your foot touches something and you look down and see that

[@crazybird199]

epic!

[@MeliVolio]

Wow. The Creators Project is one of the things I valued the most of Intel. Thanks for making it possible.

[@andreaj5067]

This is awesome 👏🏽 thank you for creating sculptures that help the people, the coral and the sea animals! Fantastic Jason!

[@jamessparkman6604]

Do you know as sculptures go they should put a statue of king triton from the Little mermaid in memory of Kenneth Mars and a statue of Ursula in memory of Pat Caroll And a Sebastian statue in memory of Samuel E Wright all of them cannot only be made of the same color coral to form these characters can give fish species new home And remember it Hass to be full of fish that actually help the generation of coral

[@TheCreatorsProject]

Watch Jason deCaires Taylor install his 18-foot-high, 60-ton Atlas sculpture designed to take ecological pressure off Bahamian coral reefs.

[@025aurelia]

This is beyond amazing. Absolutely beautiful, Congratulations to all.

Writing my dissertation at the moment while studying fine art, he’s been a big part of my research and writing.

[@never2old-sd638]

I saw this sculpture last year when I went scuba diving in the Bahamas, at the Nari Nari reef. It looks awesome when you are actually there. ( the one holding the ocean )

[@melanintsunadae]

I went in 2020 and it is amazing

[@michaelpesavento8268]

Bravo Sir!, A wonderful realisation of a wonderful idea executed beautifully. Congratulations on the herculean effort it took to create and install this piece. So much more than just a sculpture,a constantly evolving living legacy to the vision and passion of yourself the people of the Bahamas and of the Breef organisation. Thank you is not enough to express how deeply I feel about what you have accomplished here,but it is all that I have so, Thank You!!!

[@Lukasz_Fishing_Ireland]

[@soaljack]

Amazing. Will have to go diving there some day.

[@KJarzab]

It's amazing!

[@sarahfromkorea531]

Hope this artist can make this in South Korea aswell. For tributing victims of sewol ship. :)

[@gittenatyouforreal7453]

Ain’t a tribute... mockery... they never cared about black people then... and they will never care now... it’s a reminder for them... it’s sick .. if it was to honor why the sculptures have chains and show abuse that the slaves went thru..

[@Bumle]

Awesome! Would love to dive that! :D

[@Dutchpot90]

They should make two hands coming out the grounds as if they are holding a ball/orb. it would look cool.

[@andrewyates4324]

Yay

[@nictheman144]

Remarkable.

[@pelebar1636]

can we visit the location in the bahamas where is it. its incredible idea .. bravo to you all great job don. wow wow wow

[@samarindo]

Hey Jason , u should upload a picture of how is it going now on 2020 :))) love from México.

[@melanintsunadae]

I went to see it in 2020 and it looks the same... but maybe in a few years it will totally change.

[@SusanDavisCushing]

*Building the World's Largest Underwater Sculpture* _from the Creator's Project_ Artist Jason deCaires Taylor builds breathtaking underwater sculptures that double as artificial coral reefs. Watch as his newest work, "Ocean Atlas," a massive, 60-ton sculpture that reaches from the sea floor to the surface, gets deployed and installed off the coast of the Bahamas.

[@kevinmeredith1809]

I was standing on it !

[@simonnguyen237]

That's beutiful and rare

[@basselsalah4604]

is cement good for the sea??

[@kirstytaylor5067]

wow

[@KhalilAhmed-ec4xj]

Imagine jumping in the sea and hit your dam head

[@MrEURIS]

Well, that's pretty awesome, i have a question though, why not manufacturing the whole statue at once,instead of breaking it into pieces. I mean construct it as a whole and then install it in the sea. where is the problem?

[@NS_RC]

It weighs 60 tonnes as listed in the description, it was also manufactured in the UK and had to be shipped via shipping container, the pieces were designed to fit into one container. There is a lot more going on behind the scenes that people simply don't think about.

How do they raise funds for such projects? Who pays the sculptors?

[@TekturowyToster]

What is the name of the song?

[@ayushlahoti294]

Lol i got a dream of a sculpture underwater and found this😅

[@harryk91]

Yes.

[@17shots74]

it's like the spongebob statues for jellyfish almost

[@TekturowyToster]

I wish to swim there.

[@Gmal51]

😨Those statues on the water with life plants on them look creepy.

woow

[@TheTalentBank]

Our fantastic production team documented the installation of Jason's underwater Museo Atlántico in Lanzarote - Check it out 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpnblJ6dYsSemqs

[@Dongerino.]

In the Plan, the Statue touches the watersurface, but in the real thing it does not, it doesnt look the way its supposed to look, which is really bad

[@TheVeteranExpression]

***** There's no way you could allow boats to traverse over the sculpture, it'd be to dangerous. As he said, by the end of the build he was standing on top of the sculpture. Maybe a kayak or canoe could go past, but no motorboat would be able to for safety concerns. That's why they installed that flag pole, so that it stands above the waves to alert boaters that the sculpture is there as well as to mark it for divers. The room between the top of the sculpture and the surface is something that would be rather hard to get a precise measurement on before hand, and the seabed could change in the time it took to construct the sculpture. I am sure that everyone was aware of this fact. And while the initial concept may have been to have the palms up against the surface, the artist would have been fully aware of the possibility that it wouldn't. Besides natural ebb and flow will adjust its proximity to the surface periodically. Still a beautiful piece regardless. And a very enjoyable video on these artificial reef sculptures as well.

[@hiwayM9]

considering low and high tides, it would be impossible for the sculpture to always be at the surface unless on a platform that rose and fell- hence only during specific points in the tide does it rest just under the surface as designed.

[@jinishasimonds4465]

Who is the girl behind the sculpture I saw a picture of her but what is her name

[@officialds2979]

Who came to this video because of the link from eastburry?

[@Dive_Me_Crazy]

Just tried an sculpture underwater myself. Nwhere near the scope of this but fun none the less. Its so easy to do if you can dive and have a little artistic skill. Wish more divers would try it. Check the video out on my channel.

[@supermerrynez]

I need to learn how to swim before i can go there. :(

[@How1105]

You can't swim?!

[@supermerrynez]

yeah

[@Mdmc9738]

How did these people get the authority to do this. Always winding up in a rich country to Express themselves?

[@Gmal51]

Would you agree people from where I said

[@naghmanrahman]

Isi'nt it polluting water bodies???....as sculptures are fixed with anti- water phobic cements?

[@911FANGS]

What's the piano song playing in the very beginning?

[@apoloz1]

Ok, while making this sculpture they used polyester which is veeeeery harmful for nature in general, if they have done that process in a indoor room wouldn't be this harmful

[@trustnoone3285]

This is ugly to me, they look haunted, just ugly, a place frequented by a ghost. The concept is good, could have done some mermaids, some Behamiain mermaids. Or a palace, the corals would look like its garden. Mermaid playing the drums, beautiful pilers but a bunch of people standing around, haunting.

[@adelankhen]

vin rap I'll take it that you didn't watch the video and just jump into your conclusion. Try to watch the video and you'll know that the goal of all of this is not just to make the underwater look pretty but to actually help the nature recover. Coral reefs don't just sprout in the sand, they need something to hold on too and this artist is giving the corals what it needs while applying art on it. This is their own way of helping the people by helping the nature first and then the nature will do it's job in the future. Don't forget that most (if not all) of the fish in the ocean needs needs the coral reefs when laying their eggs. And the view is just a consolation prize.

To be honest I am a servant of One God And that God is name is Jehovah Because these idols don't benefit any With one God that I'm Serving in prayer. Especially you giving honor to it. But is it wrong to build statues no but you can look at it for what it is And No history about it.😇
