Idea
The idea is to transmit wind from San Diego to Weimar and vice versa. The wind would be analyzed at one side via anemometers (wind sensors) and reproduced at the other side via computer fans. We want to trasnmit not only the speed, but also the direction of the wind (e.g. due "octophonic" positioning of the fans). Sound aspects of the fans/wind should also be considered.
Possibilities of collaboration
- transmitting wind data
- developing a collective installation
