Common Datum

Common Datum is an environmentally reactive, hygroscopic sculpture. A series of suspended 3D printed vessels continuously absorb the humidity in the meticulously environmentally controlled exhibition space. This humidity stems from the visitors. It is generated through their breath and the conversations they have. The water drips along a series of threads drips into three glass volumes, mirroring the murmurs of conversation around the artwork. Without witnesses,in silence, the artworks seize to produce water. It stops,becomes inanimate without visitors, and only restarts when visitors, humidity, can be traced in the vicinity of the artwork.
