We all know the wind. We hear its howls, and we see it blow through the leaves and branches in the trees.  We feel its warm breeze in the summer and its icy sting in the winter. As it travels the earth, it brings with it the essence of its past locations, and we can imagine that same wind sweeping past our friends and family far away.​ ​We envision the wind bringing a part of us to its next destination, connecting us through its global journey. 

​

Lumen:Air is a light and sound installation that presents the strength of the wind as movement through light and sound, not dissimilar to a wind chime. Real time data is gathered from an anemometer (wind speed sensor), the data is used to create light animation, as well as a generative soundscape.

Visitors were invited to immerse themselves in the installation’s light and sound while turning their attention to the natural world surrounding them.
