Garden and Landscape
The "Video Wind Chimes" by inSITE94 artist Sheldon Brown use the force of the wind to reveal the pervasive electro-magnetic fields inhabiting the atmosphere, particularly those that are encoded as the broadcast television spectrum. A series of video projectors are mounted inside of winged housings which cause the projectors to sway in the wind, changing the projected imagery's tuning and its position on the ground.
