an illusive landscape of transparencies and artificial winds is created." Hmm, and here we were sort of hoping to get one of these to dry off after a shower. Check a video of the install after the break.

This exhibit sucks and blows?
it's beautiful... good art should always create interest in our garbage minds
Its a joke, but whether it sucks or blows depends on how you look at it, heh.
...ALMOST dumber than "FIRST P0ST!!1!"
...almost.
actually, from where you look at it
winds blowing but her hair stays the same. how does she do it?!
Hairspray. Lots of hairspray.
They need to make one with all LED fans now that would look cool
With fading RGB LEDs that would rock
Would that be enough to keep my Crysis rig from overheating at 30 FPS?
I'm afraid nothing can keep that from overheating my friend. Why that game didn't come out on a console that's entirely dedicated to gaming, I'll never know.
I guess this redefines "I fart in your general direction!" eh?
I think that is way cool (oopsie - inadvertent pun! (uh huh)).
do they supply the bandages when someone pushes you into the unprotected wall of fans?
Mmm...I just had some beans! Here's some f art for ya!
That image is messing with my mind. If you scroll up and down real fast, it looks as if the fans are actually moving.
I would be the guy the would put pepper spray all over the fans and wait for poor fools to activate them.. LOL.. ZOMG that would hurt!
MMMmmm.. all this sucking and blowing reminds me of your mom.
seems like they took the concept of the digital mirror balls mirror and replaced it with fans.

Using that to dry off after a shower? Shrinkage???
The festival was in The Hague, not Rotterdam. And not "currently", but at the end of September.
The installation is currently on display in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Daan Roosegaarde's work remind me some Daniel Rozin installations, particularly his interactive Mechanical Mirrors. http://smoothware.com/danny/
Interesting research though.
its similar to the wall of camera shutters that acts as a "video wall," essentially. Does anyone remember that? i've been trying to find it for like an hour now. gah- bookmarks!
