The human breath not only helps maintain life, but also carries a conversation, both in its assistance in the verbal conversation but in the chemical composition and interaction with nature. It is an ever-changing matrix with infinite components that maintains an intriguing complexity.
“Below Threshold” is an installation that translates the natural landscape into a mechanical one. This mechanical landscape has the capacity to measure qualities of the air and react to shifts in the environment. These shifts – primarily through the presence of the viewer – activates the installation, making visible the ways our breath influences the world around us.
The installation consists of acrylic rods, servos, microcontrollers, and a gas sensor that constantly monitors the air of its environment. The data gathered from the gas sensor is translated into a shifting waveform that is meant to mimic the way wind passes through a field of tall grass.
BNJMN is a “mobile sensory image production mechanism” with sole purpose to create original artworks by roaming in search of paper, painting whatever he wants, and signing it before he moves on to start the cycle again.
