Global Warming, 2009
Urinal, piezo transducers, Arduino, laptop and a 17" monitor
Dimentions variable
In Global Warming, the trail of pee hitting on the urinal is recorded and used to control the navigation of a 3D globe, leaving a trace of thousands of Google Earth place markers on its surface.The spectator's action is reminiscent of spraying, the animal behaviour of identifying and marking territory. Global Warming is an ironic take on how primitive territorial instincts can be exercised through supposedly intelligent and networked devices and at the same time disguised by them.
