Evaporation from Evaporation by Jana Winderen

This track is the soundtrack for Evaporation which was presented as a sound and video installation for TodaysArt Festival, Den Haag (NL), 25th - 26th September 2009. It was curated by Mike Harding and Remco Schuurbiers.

Evaporation is the slow vaporisation of a liquid and the reverse of condensation. A type of phase transition, it is the process by which molecules in a liquid state (e.g. water) spontaneously become gaseous (e.g. water vapor). Generally, evaporation can be seen by the gradual disappearance of a liquid from a substance when exposed to a significant volume of gas.

Winderen visited Greenland in July 2007 where she did hydrophone recordings 25 metres under the ice and inside the ice itself.

Jana Winderen researches the hidden depths with the latest technology; her work reveals the complexity and strangeness of the unseen world beneath. The audio topography of the oceans and the depth of ice crevasses are brought to the surface.
