A River (part 1-3)

‘A river (part 1-3)’ is a performance comprised of three water-filled vessels that represent three different properties of a certain location in a natural stream: oxygen concentration, temperature and light intensity. In the course of the performance an air pump, a cooling device and a lamp are controlled according to sensor data taken from a mountain stream. That way, the factual river is broken down into three isolated systems which emulate the fluctuations of the three parameters in an artificial environment.
