It was refreshing for this installation to be inside a graphic design studio, as it has no relevance to the subject but such a unique idea. Sound emerges through 4 flue pipes, and one reed pipe. Taking in wind velocities and directions, from 20 weather stations into a computer program that converts the data into impulses. For the visitor the instrument readings are recorded in sync at various locations around the world and transferred into sounds make for a curious aesthetic experience. The artists who produced this often draw on information from specialists and scientists, in their efforts to produce vivid objective representations of complex processes in works that frequently recall experimental setups.
This experience was unlike any thing I have seen before. I still do not understand the relevance or point to it but it was good to witness alternative methods and inspiring ways to think outside of the box.
