Autoeutrophia

2002, 8´x 2´x 2´ glass, aluminum, water, algae, electronics.

An array of water-filled tubes is suspended one foot above the floor. Mounted inside the tubes, electroluminescent (EL) wire is activated by the approach of viewers, generating a soft white light and an unsettling high-pitched whine. Surrounding the glowing elements is water with living algae. Autoeutrophia is a device that nurtures and then ultimately destroys the algae living within it. The process of eutrophia in an ecological sense is the death of waterways from fertilizer runoff, which causes excessive algae growth. By engaging with the artwork, viewers activate the light system, unwittingly contributing to the apparent eutrophication process in the tubes.
