Wind from Nowhere

Wind from Nowhere, a data-driven sound installation, received Honorary Mention at Prix Art Electronica in 2019. "Sound art sometimes handles and art-izes the pre-musical sounds and also the pre-sound air vibrations. The sense device of the wind is aesthetically and perceptually decoded, commensurate with the sound art that dealt with air in a data-driven era. Based on the wind data blowing somewhere in the world, this work is passively reminiscent of the wind by changing the way the paper is shaken. When the machine synthetically gets consciousness, can this phenomenon be regarded as the beauty of the wind for them? This work presents human and machine questions that are different from the future shown in the novel Erewhon by Samuel Butler, which is the source of artwork. The artwork realizes the most poetic transformation of the data process art submissions this year." - Extract from the jury statement
