What the project record tells us

Participatory kinetic installation · Swiss Science Center Technorama

Air Fountain: an interactive science-center presentation

Wurtzel’s Air Series portfolio describes a five-metre-diameter Air Fountain at Swiss Science Center Technorama. Visitors are invited onto the base to move with fabric carried through the air. The documented configuration makes audience participation part of the installation, rather than treating it only as an object watched from a distance.

Should visitors enter the installation, and how would its clearances, access and operating supervision be planned?

Indoor kinetic installation · Paris and London

Pas de Deux: motion made with air and loose fabric

For Pas de Deux at the Grand Palais in Paris, the artist describes two lightweight fabric sheets moving without tethers through a vortex of air. The portfolio separately records a Tate Modern Turbine Hall presentation. These indoor settings provide named precedents for considering the relationship between a moving work and a large interior volume.
