Moisture is an experimental research project undertaken by a Los Angeles-based artist collective, focused on developing location-sensitive structures for the collection, retention, and use/re-use of
water in the Mojave Desert.

As participants in the 2nd Phase of MOISTURE, Claude Willey, Deena Capparelli, and Bernard Perroud will talk about the collective project currently being undertaken on a site in the Northwestern region of the
Mojave Desert. Expanding on the project's mix of water diversion
/experimental irrigation techniques, native vegetation reintegration, and remote-sensing technology, the trio will discuss the research and development associated with this long-range site program. Also discussed will be the projects relationship with the company,
Rain Bird, and the testing of the DriWater product to grow plant material in a harsh arid environment.

Lecture sponsored by The Beall Center for Art + Technology, Rain Bird Corporation, DRiWATER, and the Studio Art Department faculty of UCI.
