Harvester of Floating Data is two oscillating objects, on the rivers Mtkvari and Göta älv, that explore the possibilities of alternative observations of areas which have experienced geological changes in deep time as well as multiple cultural and political modifications. The installations use site-specific man-made and natural materials intentionally, to grasp an extended understanding of nature as a hybrid landscape in the Anthropocene.
