This electrical installation explores the paradoxical relationship between control and indeterminacy in a configuration of matter, energy, and meaning. A three-channel high-voltage generator generates electrical charge through the influence effect, which accumulates in Leyden jars. As soon as the charge reaches a voltage in the double-digit kilovolt range that can overcome the resistance of the air, it discharges in a spark gap onto high-voltage circuit boards. These display a series of networks of asters. On the one hand, the grid is a well-researched cultural-historical control instrument, but in this configuration it unfolds an inherently paradoxical effect: where electricity normally seeks the path of least resistance, the artificially created equality in the spacing of the grid generates unpredictability: the sparks take indeterminable paths—sometimes several at the same time. Small ionized zones in the air, created by the sun's UV light or cosmic radiation, can influence the path of the discharge. Other environmental factors such as humidity or wind also contribute to the uncertainty. Ultimately, however, it remains impossible to predict or control where and how the discharge will occur.
