    Abstract

    Uncovering and exhibiting digital media’s entanglements with energy, behavior and environment through artistic practice has been a decade-long quest for the author. Through three art projects the author describes his experiments with the energy consumption of media, lithium battery recycling, the Cloud and network connectivity. Arguing for critical artistic approaches, the author examines concerns of ecology and behavior as investigated by installation, by workshop, and by community participation, together forming an energy art practice.
