celebrating the release of vapormax technology, NIKE collaborates with award-winning designer h0nh1m for ‘the vision-airs’ project and introduces vaporscape — a state-of-the-art soundscape installation at art central hong kong. the young designer created a method to translate his environment into sound using the latest in bio-mechanical technology.

h0nh1m’s vaporscape for NIKElab at art central hong kong is an interactive ambient installation containing four layers of sound. in order to generate music, the product follows a certain criteria — the detection of humidity in a room and the audience’s skin temperature. this prompts the sensors to translate vaporisation rate into sound modulation.
