Video Wind Chimes, 1994

The Video Wind Chimes use the force of the wind to reveal the pervasive electromagnetic 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.
