A Master of Fine Art student, Maria Michails, currently based at Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, recently used rowing power as a key element in her MFA installation.
Visitors to the Harry Wood Gallery, at the University, could watch ‘rower-performers’ in a hand crafted boat which contained a modified rowing machine. Kinetic energy from their rowing action generated electricity which powered a display of back-lit photographs on the gallery walls.
The interactive installation explores urban growth and its impact on water use in the Phoenix area valley.
Maria produced a detailed blog about the development and installation of her “Emergy” exhibition.

The EcoList is a service organised by Karina Wells and Andy Pepper. Karina has been involved with community and eco/sustainable issues for many years and introduced the EcoTeam concept to the UK. Andy is involved with the visual arts and arts funding. They met as part of the first EcoTeams project in West Bridgford, Nottingham, and have worked together on a variety of community projects since.
Karina's expertise in eco issues and Andy's curiosity for eco art and design means that the EcoList brings you a broad (if slightly quirky) collection of information, news and events from the web.
This site aims to provide you with some of the best Eco and Recycling products and information we can find. EcoList is not connected with any of the products or services listed and all images are taken from sites featured.
We want EcoList to be visual as well as informative. If, for any reason, you feel we should not be using a particular image, please contact us and we will remove it (and the associated information) immediately.
