concept "for those who see"

In the installation "for those who see" an invisible phenomenon is designed to become a visually sensible "pixel". In a rectangular box pressure is created by a speaker. This pressure is vortexing the air at a perfectly circular opening whereby a Vortex Ring develops. The energy affiliated by the sound adds an impulse to the ring – invisible, as the sound itself. Only fog demonstrates this aesthetic phenomenon. Once activated the Vortex Ring moves linearly in the air, after a short moment it slowly resolves as smoke and strength decrease.
A matrix of 7 x 7 boxes forms the basic shape of the installation. Individually released in the air, our visual perception connects the single rings, in the short moment of their appearance, to patterns, surfaces, symbols or bodys.
Corresponding to the focus of the observer, one time it is the overall picture, another time it might be the individual fragment, which invites contemplation and fascination.
