Overview

This work is a group of air columns that sometimes move gently and buoyantly, and sometimes move rapidly up and down. Each air column achieves approximately 50cm of movement with only a 180° rotation of a single weak servo motor. This is achieved through ingenious gear ratios. The movement that seems to defy gravity creates a unique force field in space, visualizing invisible flows of force. Through this mysterious presence, this work aims to replicate supernatural phenomena in real space, constructing replicas. This is an experimental expression that manifests a field of force transcending everyday physical laws in that very place.
