Additional Info
Electric Water is a series of drawing site-actions that reflect the transformation of water flow into electrical current. These were generated at altered and interrupted sites of the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme, Bogong High Plains, Victoria. These works are scanned in-situ using a reconfigured scanner. This method uses technology as a mode of intervention itself, creating ruptures in the data feed, pulse glitches from the hand, and colour field abstractions.
Experimental works on paper made as site-actions using a solar-powered handheld scanner (a reconfigured flatbed scanner), its rendering of the landscape characterised by glitches in the data feed, the erratic movements of the hand, and prismatic refractions of light dust and other atmospheric anomalies.
