streamflow is an audio-visual work mediating on the reduced levels of rainfall run-off entering Perth’s dams, due to climate change. This work was inspired by the recent drought in the South-West of Australia, which highlighted the drying conditions in the area. The work contrasts the monthly streamflow levels from 1911 – 1975 and post-1975 (in gigalitres) – where once streamflow made up a large component of Perth’s drinking water, the city has now had to diversify its water sources. streamflow is a combination of field recordings (original and altered) from around Serpentine Dam in Perth, sonification, and data visualisation via Ableton and TouchDesigner.
