concept for the video installation
„DEROTATION“
by Domas Schwarz
About the Artwork
„Derotation“ is a video installation about a looping video from a windmill on a screen which is rotating at the same speed in the opposite direction.
The movement of a wind wheel,
known for generating electricity is
visually stopped and derotated by
the motion of a motor,
known for consumpting energy.
Two different aims leading to a standstill.
Another example of Power Wastage in Media Art?

work in progess
Predicted Changes:
- use of a steel stand instead of a pedestial and is place in the middle of a room
- use of video from a local windmill
Tech Facts:
- the Screen is from an Ipad which is connected per Airplay to OSX Catalina Mac Computer via local Wifi
- Motor is controlled per Arduino Microcontroller
- Ipad and Arduino are synchronized over a time decoded Batch process and can change the speed of the windmill and the ipad simultaneously
- Ipad is connected to two cycled Powerbanks to get enough Power for a whole Day in an exhibition / it has to be charged over Night
- installation needs to be connected to a Mac computer with at least OSX Catalina
thank you for taking a look at this
the installation will be finished in the end of july
