It looks like a rock in the middle of a park. And it is a rock. But it’s more than that. Artist Aram Bartholl hollowed out a portion of the rock and placed a Wi-Fi router inside. It’s powered with a thermoelectric generator. So if you want a Wi-Fi signal, you have to start a fire at the base of the rock.
Bartholl calls this sculpture Keepalive. It’s at the Springhornhof, a sculpture museum/park in Germany. Visitors can make appointments to use the rock. After starting the router, they’ll be able to download a library of survival guides in PDF format.
