[WINDpromptu]
As intangible as it may seem with its odourless, colourless, and formless qualities, WIND is intensely perceptible through its ability to give form to others, to heighten our physical sensibility, and to make itself audible when collides with matters. The challenge to create a piece of work that not only possesses a sculptural quality that is pleasing to eye, but also uses WIND as the agent to give itself meanings, we believe, is the crux of the success of this sculpture.
Our proposed sculpture attempts to deal with the 3 major qualities mentioned above; namely to ‘give form’, to ‘encourage interactions’, and to ‘make audible’. WINDpromptu (風場作慶) exploits the randomness of wind’s strengths and directions to allow itself to infinitely changing its forms. It also takes wind as the generating force for a random composition of sounds that creates a genuine ‘improvised wind symphony’. The symphony generated is further enhanced by the participation of its visitors, resulting in ourselves a heightened sense of our environment.
