Title: Air Gap Hold On
Artist: Anne de Vries
Year: 2012
Dimensions: 117 × 60 × 8 cm
Materials: Stainless steel, digital print on towel, digital print on plastic
About:
The title refers to the concept of an air gap in both plumbing and networking contexts. In plumbing, an air gap is the unobstructed vertical space between a water outlet and the flood level of a fixture, preventing contaminated water from flowing back into the potable water system. In networking, an air gap is a security measure isolating secure computer networks physically from insecure ones, such as the public internet, to prevent unauthorized data flow. This work reflects on these ideas of separation, protection, and control.
