a subjective scene that allows a full range of possibilities from data,
material, form, and scale.
The project presents real-time natural productive movements based on
ocean wind data that is updated every 10 minutes. Performatory
movements of wind data create traces of corrosion as time passes. Wind
traces are overlaid again and again, and the aluminum sheet is deeply
corroded. Movements represent the presence of the wind and corrosion
traces represent the history of the wind. The salt water coagulated after
being pumped out from underneath the aluminum sheet, and there were
some visible secretions. The physical form of the work consists of
construction materials from our surroundings such as metal, concrete, and
machinery.
The project examines our experience of the spatial and perceptual
conditions through objects/installations and visualizes environmental
events. The project invites different interpretations of natural phenomena
as those events interact with the indeterminate space created by my
project. In my work, the viewer shares our subjective experiences, and
moments of instantaneous communication with the natural events. A
Landscape of Events is moments that exist somewhere in the physical
realm and encourage viewers to question their sense of their surroundings.
