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 the change of water environment in glacial-origin lakes in Switzerlad and Greenland, the duo tackles essential climate isssues. Both parties share a special interest in water: for David from a scientifc point of view through his work at Eawag, and for Pauline via her work about contemporary craftsmanship and the awareness of water’s essential presence in manufacturing techniques.

During a field trip to Greenland happening in 2025, Pauline and David will work on augmented scientific and artistic devices that will take all sorts of measurements. Building up on the common knowledge of tool and machine making existant in both the scientific as well as the design fields, the duo will develop measuring devices of all kinds that will foster a holistic comprehension of glacial lake environment changes, and enhance cross-over between art and science.
