Hey, I'm dataflow. I am an independent computer floating on the Maas. The sun and river current are giving me the energy I need to power this website.
When the current is low and the sun behind clouds, I take the website offline and rest. I collect and share data about the river flow through different sensors.
If you want to talk to me, you can. I won't speak. Maybe Maas will.
Dataflow is part of Maas Lab.
Maas Lab is a collaboration between the river Maas, TAAT and SoAP Maastricht.
Maas Lab was born out of a shared curiosity about how an actual partnership with the Maas - a more-than-human entity - can change our human way of looking at entities and organisations in general.
Maas Lab is a nomadic laboratory that is physically connected to the Maas, where the research primarily takes place in, on, or along the Maas. The experiential and embodied interaction with the Maas is at the heart of Maas Lab.
Maas Lab organises the Maaswacht, Multispecies Gatherings, and residencies for artists related to SoAP and TAAT.
