ParaSol is a datascape, a 3 dimensional diagram showing the annual energy production of AKTINA*. It constitutes a playful structure, resembling a “huge linear hat” (84 pieces, 50×450 cm). Across its length, ParaSol gives information about energy production during one year period, while its width shows the amount of electric power produced during a day. The artwork combines digital with manual production (design & fabrication / assembling) and points towards the notion of digital craftsmanship. For its fabrication, open hardware 3d printers have been employed, both in Athens and Rotterdam, in collaboration with EEL/LAK (GFOSS) and FabLab Athens.
