(2011)
9m diameter installation
Industrial fan, Lightbulb, Wire, Microcontroller
Unique
“Turbulence” uses a single lightbulb that hangs down from the ceiling with an industrial fan connected in the middle. It pushes, pulls and swings the lightbulb in a chaotic, random pattern. The lightbulb builds up momentum, flairs up, and the fan turns Off and the lightbulb settles down. After it settles to a stop the fan starts up again, causing the lightbulb build up momentum again.
The installation is a reflection of a world in flux and a life in constant transition.
