Event's IaaC - IaaC Alumni awarded in the EMERGING ARTIST PROGRAM 2008, Denver_USA

Former IaaC students Monika Wittig, Luis Fraguada, Mariano Arias Diez, and Shane Salisbury have been announced as the winners of the Denver International Airport "Emerging Artists Competition." The project called for a one year long art installation between two roads en route to the Denver Airport.
The [WIND]OW SEAT project is attempts to visualize this complex fluid system that is the air we all inhabit—a ubiquitous condition dynamically affecting all geographies. With this premise, any locale, whether an awe inspiring forest or an unnoticeable highway median can be analyzed and compared through the rendering of its wind activity. Conceptually, [WIND]OW SEAT emerged from analyzing a typically unused space physically sited in a median approximately 7 miles from Denver International Airport. The design takes its departure from the windsock, a relatively simple instrument used in aviation to signal the changes in wind direction and wind speed. [WIND]OW SEAT attempts to take the behavior of a single windsock, and translate it into a field condition where local behaviors can be read globally to articulate the complexities of the wind forces.
