Coding Drops

Floriama Candea, Mark IJzerman and Ioana Vreme Moser

— Research project and exhibition
1-12 Oct. Garrison Comand

In a world shaped by rising temperatures, fading signals, and transforming ecologies, perhaps what matters most is not how clearly we speak, but how closely we learn to listen.

Coding Drops continues Qolony’s interdisciplinary exploration of water-bound territories, inviting us to experience the world not through static frameworks, but through drifting, leaky, responsive systems. Following a site-specific residency in the Danube Delta, artists Floriama Candea, Mark IJzerman and Ioana Vreme Moser will produce 3 art installations that reflect on different aspects of fluid systems as forms of expression and interpretation ; one that resists control, values inter-species relation, and embraces uncertainty.

In Neural Bloom, Floriama Cândea creates a network of light-responsive sculptural nodes based on aquatic plants and algae, where each element “breathes” in response to CO₂ from the viewer’s exhalation—highlighting the atmosphere as a shared and fragile commons.

In Watershed (Final Call), Mark IJzerman follows polluted water through the delta’s filtering layers, using reactive textiles, underwater sound, and microscopic projections to trace the breakdown of communication in ecosystems under pressure.

In Nautophone Telecom, Ioana Vreme Moser reconstructs a pneumatic circuit, where bursts of compressed air reanimate the foghorn signals once used for navigation in the Danube Delta—transforming air pressure into acoustic presence and rhythmic expression.
