Inscription HELP composed of cca 144 dried carcasses of freshly hatched babies of species Lepidochelys olivacea who burned alive they could make it into the water. The reason for such mass extinction most probably being sand significantly more hot than normal.
Playa Ostional, Costa Rica, washed away into the sea during the next high tide.
A bamboo stick washed ashore on Playa Cocalito / Nicoya Peninsula / Costarica has been cut in 3 modules, smuggled into Europe and endowed with strong neodymium magnets so that modules form a whole again.
The hollow space within the module 1 is used as a contained for the radiation-detecting Müller tube connected to a fully functioning Arduino-based Geiger counter. Hoping that I will never need to use it elsewhere than to measure the radioactivity of uranium-glazed tiles at U-Bahn station Rosenthaler Platz, it's still wiser to be safe than sorry ...
The hollow space within the module 2 contains an Arduino Nano Connect system endowed with a battery, I2C gyroscope, speaker and a microphone. Based on the position of the tube, the microcontroller either records or plays back the audio buffer. The intention behind such "sonic imitation" is to research and establish communication with birds in the most natural way.

Sun-powered polyphonic harp :: Music instrument I ever built & coded in the context of January 2022 Synthux Academy Hackathon. Software synthesizer Daisy Seed combined with 12 x capacitive sensor connected through conductive fiber with neodymium magnets attached to an upcycled metalic kitchen tablet. Audio out connected to a transducer (shaker) which uses kitchen table as the resonator. No battery, powered directly from the solar panel.

A little installation displayed at Rundgang 2022 thematized the relation between reality and its representation, of simulation and the thing simulated. A vase filled with freshly cut Phlox and Gladiole flowers juxtaposed to an autostereoscopic holographic display showing a hologram of 3d-scanned vase filled with Phlox and Gladiole flowers next to which there is a hologram of a 3d-scanned vase juxtaposed to a hologram ....
A classical infinite regress feedback loop, but this time with Kinect and light field technology.
