The fact, that the installation aesthetically reinterprets natural phenomena with the help of algorithms builds a contrast, which challenges the relation between nature, technology and art. The audiovisual art installation thereby pursues to make change tangible and to question our fast-paced way of living. Meandering River invites to enhance the perception of our changing environment by zooming out and regarding the bigger picture. In our everyday life we continue to follow habits and patterns without paying attention to the bigger impact of our actions most of the time. Goalsīy transferring natural phenomena into digital art, this project aesthetically puts emphasis on the opposing relation between nature and technology.

in order to complement the mesmerizing movements of the visuals and contrast the natural phenomenon. The accompanying soundscape was developed with the help of an A.I. By investigating scientific research that examines the natural phenomenon of meandering rivers, different algorithms were developed to authentically simulate the unpredictable movements of rivers and reinterpret their organic structures, rhythmic fluctuations and visual materiality. It leaves the observer with a unique perception of time. Spanning over multiple screens Meandering River visualizes these altering landscapes and thereby makes the changes visible. The minor changes of riverbeds are not visible for the bare eye, as they are gradually happening over time. The artwork reinterprets the shifting behaviour of rivers in the landscape, regarded from a bird’s eye view. Meandering River is an audiovisual art installation, which is comprised of real-time visuals and music composed by an A.I.
