Distant Water Exotic Landscape

Описание: “Distant Water Exotic Landscape” is a generative audio and visual installation that explores the micro and macro perceptions of environmental cycle system through the transformational and transmittable qualities of water. It invites us to consider our interdependency with the element of water, and technology, also, the borderline between natural and artificial environments.

The installation portray an imaginary landscape on coloured paper, where the black ink is constantly washed out by vapour water collected from various sources, including local river, rain, taps, and imported bottled water. Two types of microphones are installed behind the paper, as live recoding that reveals the energetic activities behind the formation of landscapes. One is a hydrophone listening to liquid and vapour states of water, the other one is a pair of electromagnetic sensor that listen to the electric flow consumed by the water vaporiser.

Throughout the exhibition, the duration of forming a piece of landscape, and its energy consumption is precisely controlled– one source of water on one piece of paper, for an 8 hours period of complete vaporisation, this process continues the following days until the end of the exhibition.
