‘windcatcher’ is an installation by super nature design which converts wind energy into tangible visualizations. this virtual machine is able to graphically represent the flow of air and motion using an interactive windmill which controls the pulsation and movement of the lights and colors projected on the screen. in doing this, ‘windcatcher’ offers visitors a new perspective on mother nature’s forces and at the same time seeks to bring users back into their childhood dreams and memories.
