This installation was designed to inspire viewers to recognize the value in individual elements of our environment. Outdoor instruments read and translate the wind into electronic data. That data is then used to activate acoustic instruments suspended from the ceiling inside the Boise WaterShed Lobby. This piece invites a different experience of listening to the wind.
