05. Hydrorecord



Hydrorecord is an on-going experimental research project in collaboration with the aquatic geochemist David Janssen.

By wanting to address scientific and artistic research from the point of view of the devices used for collecting data, we are asking: What do these tools say about how we relate to the world? Is measuring enough to understand, and is recording enough to know? How can the study of scientific and artistic devices help us understand our relationship to the world, and address what this relationship is lacking?

Taking the scientific analysis of interconnected networks of glacial lakes in Switzerland and Greenland as a case study, we investigate what lies behind the very idea of measurement. Do measuring technologies help bridge the gap between scientist and the world, or do they create more distance? What role could artistic and critical design methods play in rethinking these devices and offer a reflection around the idea of measurement at such?

By creating hybrid tools, situated between art and science, we merge chemistry processes and artistic interpretation in a process-based project about material and visual experimentations.
