Tides traverses online and physical mediums to immerse audiences in Townsville's hidden past and envisioned future. Set in 2075 - as digital experience drowns out the physical - preservation of the past is seen as only a hindrance to progress. But when a heart gets broken that suddenly, it’s not that easy to just let the past disappear. Resisting the filtered virtual mainstream, one researcher attempts to work through their own spectacular crash-on-the-rocks. Immersed among the long-forgotten relics at the bottom of the ocean, they are tossed a lifeline, but have they learned from the past?
