modular synthesis (vcv rack application) modules in the computer, speakers, wood

I am researching how wind can change sound. At first, I researched DIY instruments, but later they became a way to receive wind as data and allow it to change the meaning of sound virtually. However, sound is also shaped by people who receive the wind measurement tool. I associate them with everyday joys and strive for them to also find small joys during this process. In my written work, I discuss wind as a medium for relationships and connections in a fragmentary way, exploring the mythological and cultural meanings of wind, its impact on nature, sound, and communication-connections in more detail. I explore the concept of wind both personally and scientifically—from its role in the atmosphere to mythical interpretations in which wind becomes a force of both creation and destruction. The final work is technically as follows: two objects that measure wind speed are given to people during the exhibition who remind me of everyday joys. With instructions on how to use the object, an interlude is added to encourage the search for everyday joys. The data collected from the five wind measurement objects is sent to a computer and changes the pitch (sound frequency) of the sounds I created in a modular synthesis program. The work operates in real time during the gallery’s opening hours. p.s. photo with the speakers is taken by Laurynas Skeisgiela, other one is mine
