Description
The installation forms an abstract, Icelandic landscape made from the components of lava and wind, appearing in a technoid way. The lava rocks are, due to their galvanical copper-plating, part of an electric circuit running the pc-fans.
Since autumn 2019 the electricity consumption of the server farms for Bitcoin-mining surpasses those of all private households in Iceland.
