Description
In this experimental analysis -- artwork -- the artist tried to observe and record various forms of energy he took in AND put out. In a period approximates to one day (from 9 am on December the first to 1 am on the second of December), the artist used an industrial scale to weigh the energy resources he took (food, beverages, for instances), as well as the excretions that contain energy (urination, semen, for examples). The experiment report (artwork) eventually unfolded in the form of postcard. On the front side of the card prints numerous photos (a total of 18 pictures) recording the weighing process, and the back side features a literary report of the experiment.
