“Difference: Anatomy of Stone” offers a perspective on entities and their environment based on the idea of ‚non-organic life‘. Stones keep the thermal energy coming from the sun, with sunset the heat inside starts to move out through the stone. Peltier modules on the stone surface harvest electric energy during this process, which powers an LED bulb until there is no temperature difference between the stones and their environment. The bulb, as an implant, is a sign of life, it makes the stone similar to any organism metabolizing energy.
The work Difference: Anatomy of Stone will be shown at IC @ Ars Electronica 2025.
