Description
The Teacup Tools are an array of cybernetic teacups, adapting themselves to the realm of climate related sciences.They appear as a multifunctional tool for the investigation of tiny micro clouds above tea,
for communication and for tea drinking.
On a mobile phone one can log into the local Teacup Tool Wifi and have a look at realtime curves, written by dancing teacups, listen to Data Tango and get more info on the Global Teacup Network.
The sculptures have a nomadic quality. Like parasites they can be found next to aerosol* measurement stations, in parks, on streets, on roofs or in the neighbourhood of research laboratories.
The Global Teacup Network (GTN) calls attention to the investigation of the invisible and borderless air and its aerosols* - tiny particles of organic and anorganic matter, with a major impact on cloud formation, crucial to weather and climate.
