“Transistor” will be built from end of August 2011 at the Badeschiff Wien. After a three weeks building process, the sculpture will be exhibited for one month, before the area will be restored again to its original setting.
The final form and aesthetics of the sculpture represents an experiment itself, since the artist is not the designer: Rainer Prohaska is the executing agent for a vast number of municipal authorities, funding bodies and a structural engineering office. In the end, the sculpture is formed and designed by flood water protection and legal representatives, preservationists, property owners, navigators, structural engineers and funding bodies without them knowing it.
