Austrian design student Nikolas Heep says he's on a "gruelling mission" to cut his water use from 130 liters to just 1.5 liters per day.
And that's not all he's been doing: He's also been designing objects that make use of light and sound, Wired reports.
The idea for Loidolt-Shen, "the howling of the siren, both literally and metaphorically, has become a reality in conflict-torn areas" came to him while he was working on a course at the University of Applied Arts Vienna's Design Investigations program, which focuses on "post-industrial and speculative design," per a school statement.
Heep says he wanted to create an object "that invites us to pause, to play, to be intrigued by single industrial gears and the interplay of light and sound to create harmonic tunes."
So he teamed up with Peter Knobloch, Matthias Pfeffer, and Stefan Zinell to create Loidolt-Shen, which stands for "political atmosphere."
It's a sort of mini-version of the famous Loidolt-Shen siren, which "features a custom-made, industrial antenna that amplifies the invisible connections between flight turbulence, climate change, and war." Read the Entire Article
