The installation explores the challenges of synchronizing the aesthetics and intrinsic characteristics of natural materials into a built environment completed with the latest computer-aided design tools and embedded control system technologies. The environment is designed to challenge visitors with its subtle interactivity which references the universal fears our society harbors and more specific threats; including heightened surveillance of the private sector, increased computational control of daily life, and the poisoning of our environment.

The entire exhibition courtyard is flooded with rainwater captured from the roof of M&A's building using a catchment system installed by volunteers for this installation. The water recirculates from pool to pool and conceals a unique and subtly responsive submerged system of jets. A hyperboloid-shaped bamboo foot bridge that resembles a fraying warped tube spans the aquatic habitat. The design results from the collaborative effort of infranatural and workshop LEVITAS along with numerous volunteers from the community.
