05. Hydrorecord / PolARTS program

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

By looking at how science and art can team up to build a comprehensive portrait of changing water environments of glacial-origin lakes in Switzerland and Greenland, our tandem tackles urgent climate-related questions. We both share a special interest in water: for David from a scientific point of view through his work at Eawag (Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology), and for me via my work about contemporary craftsmanship and the awareness of water’s essential presence in manufacturing techniques.

During a 15-months collaboration from August 2024 until November 2025, we will work on augmented scientific and artistic devices that will mediate a manifold of measurements. Building up on the common knowledge of tool and machine making existent in both the scientific as well as the design fields, we will develop measuring and capturing devices that will foster a holistic comprehension of glacial lake environment changes, and enhance cross-overs between art and science.
