From the research of Claude Shannon about the encryption and transmission of signals he concluded that information has a certain entropy, an uncertainty, resulting in the loss of information or the impossibility to predict, anticipate, its value and variables. He further demonstrates Boolean algebra's reduction of uncertainty, from which he derives that any type of information can be encoded, not just approximately, but perfectly, without noise or error, as a series of fundamental 'yes' or 'no'. Today, we know these yes/no´s as bits of digital information, ones and zeroes, the common basis of all digital systems.

The water basin offers a convivial space compelling the visitor's attention by the play of geometric patterns popping out of the water and the resulting light reflections. The spectator is invited to contemplate the fountain’s kinetic play and to decipher its ‘deeper’ meaning. The project gives shape to the en/decryption process of information and suggests a kinetic allegory to entropy while inserting these fundamental notions into a common device of public space.
