The Wind Motion

This project asks how the movement of wind can be captured and represented. Rather than limiting motion capture to human bodies, we extended the technique to natural phenomena such as wind and water flow. To do so, a flag was attached to a motion-capture device and suspended in the air, allowing the invisible movement of wind to be recorded as data. The captured motion was then remapped onto a stone—an object typically perceived as static and immovable. By making the stone appear to move visually, the work reveals an ironic tension between expectation and perception, questioning the unconscious stereotypes we hold about materials, motion, and what we assume to be alive or inert.
