Mid-air collisions
Kathrin Stumreich
Mit Absolvent*innen der Angewandten
150,000 motorized mirrors reflect sunlight at the concentrated solar plant, located in the Mojave Desert, Ivanpah
in the U.S. The focused sunbeams of this area can reach temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees, attracting insects that perish
in the intense heat. The manifestation of Kathrin Stumreich’s investigation of this occurrence is a central piece in her latest
exhibition at discotec titeled; Mid-air collision.
During
her on-site visit, she amassed 10 terabytes of picture and video content, capturing observations of thermal activity, the
color of the sky, and animal behavior. The interaction between the natural environment and the infrastructure of renewable
energy sources is central to her multimedia installation.
