Hydropunk

Family, Music/Sound

Hydropunk is an interactive installation created in collaboration with the public, where water takes centre-stage.

Taps, valves, pipes, pumps, sprays, and leaks come together to form a chaotic, yet playful water machine full of games and puzzles, all fed by a central reservoir. But there’s a twist: Hydropunk is also a striking environmental metaphor. With only 1000 litres of water to work with, once it’s gone, it’s gone! To keep the fun flowing, participants must work together to conserve and recycle water, engaging in a constant challenge against waste and leakage.
