If you want to know about Change, first look at rivers

2025


“if you want to know about Change, first look at rivers” uses the flow of liquid through a network of interconnected vessels, valves and pistons in order to map and corelate the Energy required for Change, with the conditions that make it possible. With direct references to early water-based analog computers, this device operates as a visualizer of the disposition in infrastructure systems to seek equilibrium and low energy states. From personal to societal, Change, is determined by the groundwork it is carried over. Through its operation from the audience, the work seeks to create a working example of individual and collective agency in enacting change and stirring the course of the future, it highlights that energy and effort are and need be understood as accumulative, as practices with continuity and lineage.
