Streaming live from different sites in a floodplain in the outskirts of Vienna. The Lower Lobau is part of a national park and is in danger of drying up completely in the future. The streaming sites reflect some of the causes for this condition, which has been known for decades. One thing is certain: only with a reconnection to the Danube can the Lobau once again become an independent floodplain, linked to the water dynamics of a river.

Ephem Radio is a temporary web radio streaming live from an ecosystem in a state of ongoing transformation and loss. An old loudspeaker box has been converted into a stream box, enabling the soundscape to be transmitted to this website.
