One ordinary afternoon, I was walking on the street. A gust of wind raised a plastic bag — soft, frivolous, inattentive, floating in the air. The plastic lifted and swam into a sunbeam, rendering itself translucent, billowing like a cloud.
What do we imagine when we think of a cloud in a climate change era?
In this project, a mechanized spatial system controls a transparent plastic bag. This system enables it to deform and flow according to the viewer’s movement. An LIDAR scanning system positioned in the corner provides position data to the microcontroller.
