Cybernetics of Waterscape

Cybernetics of Waterscape explores the interconnection between water, memory, and perception. Developed through fieldwork and oral histories in Xizhi—a flood-prone district in northern Taiwan—the installation creates a sensory environment of mist, sound, and visual fragments from hydrological sites, responding in real time to humidity sensors in both Xizhi and Linz. The project reflects on the disappearance of riverine soundscapes, shared heritage, and the trade-offs inherent in environmental governance.
