Morphology of the Aerial – Mint Park
Morphology of the Aerial (working title) creates a series of palpable yet ephemeral experiences of ever morphing landscapes, by revealing progress of site-specific airflow patterns as an installation, a composition and a performance. From the technical base and conceptual research of the two previous iterations of air sculpting apparatus in Turbulence Studies 2019 and Turbulence Studies 2020, the project will take a closer look at the relationship between fluid dynamics and its audio-visual aftermath in air patterns using turbulent/non-turbulent interface created by different intensity of air pressure and temperature changes brought on to the atmosphere. The series of spatial experiments will not only include the scientific research in pneumatic engineering, thermodynamic mixing, and new materiality, but also an aesthetic investigation in creating visceral multi-sensorial audio-visual narrative.
Mint Park is an electronic musician and a new media artist who investigates space, texture, and natural phenomena in her sound-driven practice. She will be undertaking a month long research residency at iii to further develop the project ‘Morphology of the Aerial’, a continuation of her studies in air turbulence.
