"Three quarters of the planet are composed of water, the same percentage as the human body."
75% water is a interactive collective project whose purpose is to collect water from all oceans and seas of the planet and as many fresh water of cities in the world with the aim of creating artistic strategies, develop a map, share experiences and give back most of the water cycle.
This project aims also to build a base (water and exchange of perceptions) that allows to ensure its continuity and further development in the art interactive website sdf (sindomiciliofijo), currently under construction.
75% water is a project product of an exchange of artistic ideas, social, cultural and environmental points of which together have created a call-sharing network that has worked for open Internet as the main channel contact and communication.
The call, which is still in force, began in mid-2003 about asking anyone wishing to participate in the project, send us a bottle (preferably plastic) that contains between 50 cc and 1 liter of water from the place visited, accompanied by a photograph of the point at which the sample was collected (river, sea, fountain, lake, etc..) and any additional information (maps, texts, chemical composition, etc.) it deemed of interest. The images could be sent by email in JPEG, TIFF or PDF
Thanks to the participation and motivation of more than 200 people, to date, the project has brought together more than 300 samples of fresh and salt water representing the five continents, from Australia to Cyprus, via Armenia, Mongolia, Vietnam, the Himalayas, the Nile, the Danube, La Selva del Orinoco, Patagonia, Black Sea, Red Sea, Baltic, etc..
All documentation received so far is being organized so that we can shape the project through the collection, presentation and classification of waters, photographs and text within an exhibition space with adequate infrastructure to realize the best possible created and developed several initiatives from the Internet.
