December 2013 – When water freezes

Posted on December 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

The temperature drops, water cools, and suddenly, there is a crest of ice on the surface, slowly growing and deepening. Soon it will be so hard that we can touch it without destroying it, and even walk on it. Anyone … Continue reading →

November 2013 – Flow shaping with water plants

Posted on November 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

The Austrian forester and natural philosopher Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) perceived many ways of altering a river’s flow, not by trying to steer water into a particular course, but by creating conditions for water to self-organize into a new flow pattern. … Continue reading →

October 2013 – The quality of water

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

In the autumn, leaves fall onto the ground, into the small ponds forming here and there, soon with brownish amber-coloured water. Resting for a moment on the surface, until a splash or a footstep causes it to cross the surface … Continue reading →

September 2013 – Water’s pulse

Posted on September 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

Swish, swoosh, swish, swoosh, in a rhythmic pattern, the water swings to and fro in the vessel, a “flowform”, originally conceived by the British anthroposophist John Wilkes (1930-2011) in 1970 and since then developed into many shapes. The incoming water … Continue reading →

August 2013 – The Mysteries of Fog

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

Morning mist is rolling in from the shore, the remnants of a rainy summer night. Elusive, yet being so close that one can nearly touch it. The sun finally breaks through, clearing up the mist into vapour, and it is … Continue reading →

July 2013 – The rising seas

Posted on July 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the water level rises. Where are we actually heading? What is the attractor of our present course? Where will we be, when water finds its new level? Our actions are like a small marble, rolling down a … Continue reading →

June 2013 – The water jet dances

Posted on June 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

The jet of water ejects out of the nozzle in a continuous, steady flow. Directing my eyes towards the opening, there is not a trace of pulsation. Yet just slightly above, the dance has begun. As the upward movement is … Continue reading →

May 2013 – The water vortex

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

Round and round, the vortex swirls in the bucket, mixing whatever is in it. Perhaps one of our most mundane acquaintances with water is stirring it, although we seldom give the process a closer look. Stirring vigorously will only create … Continue reading →

April 2013 – Floating timber in brooks

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

“The logs will not float even 50 meters”, was the official position of the Austrian timber commission. The experts had even brought a signed written testimony to the futility of the project. It was a timber floating system, conceived by … Continue reading →

March 2013 – Ink droplets falling in water

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

Water’s inherent tendency to form patterns can be observed as simple as with ink droplets falling into water (preferably in a container with flat walls). The impact of the droplet creates vaulting toroidal forms, vortexes resembling jellyfish, and finally, when … Continue reading →

February 2013 – Water and consciouness

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

As if they were carved out, the ripples in the water hover before my eyes. The gentle vortex flow pulls the water down, only to return it to the surface again, following the walls of the egg-shaped container. Round and … Continue reading →

January 2013 – Self-organization

Posted on January 1, 2013 by Lasse Johansson

Self-organizing, seemingly out of nothing, the sand-water rolls appear. Where did they come from? The moment before, when the incoming stream reached its highest level and turned, there was only a flat surface of murky water. Self-organization means the spontaneous … Continue reading →
