In this installation wind is captured outdoors, then transmitted and reproduced in a hermetic like glass cube right underneath. Receipt paper is slowly intruded into the space and blown by four fans, in the direction and the speed from the wind outside. To cover the whole room the fans are positioned in the corners, instead the corners would be left out and paper would get stuck. The uselessness of the reproduction of wind in the same direction, the same speed and at the exact same spot, just in an enclosed and isolated space . Like in a museum or a zoo the wind can be observed, but what can we learn from it? Is the wind an old relict that is worth to be presented in a museum? Or is the wind, like a fish in a fishtank, something that needs to be kept alive?

Furthermore, this installation will be split into two parts, so it can be presented in two different contexts. The first one is for public art, the wind is, as described above reproduced live and at the exact same spot. Then, the second part would be presented in a gallery or other indoor exhibition spaces like a museum. For this case the data from part one is written on an SD card and then in the gallery recalled and played on the fans. This would be the exact echo or memory of the wind that was once there, but isn't anymore.

It is all happening in a hermetic like glass cube that is sitting on a plinth. The parts are 3D printed to look neat and integrate into the installation, but still the DIY aesthetics should come out. In the cube a layer of moss is placed which on one hand is representing nature, but is also a great natural air filter. In the center on the top of the inside there is an extruder to feed the box with paper, the paper is used as an indicator for the wind and at the same time it's interesting to see what happens when the box gets slowly filled with the paper. The DIY sensors can be seen inside a transparent box that is sitting on top of the cube, so people can see what exactly is happening and can relate to the things happening inside the box.
