Light and wind are combined to make The Exhale art installation at Art Basel Miami. The pavilion, from Phu Hoang Offices and Rachely Rotem Studio uses 25,000sq.ft. of space and 7 miles of reflective ropes. The canopy responds to light, wind and human movement. Senors respond to the lightest touch of wind or a person, basically anything will turn these lights on. The result a glowing canopy of light and color.
Artiest Andrew Smith uses pieces found in junk yards to make sculptors that are fun and lively, they also pump water, move small objects and make noises. Smith uses whatever he finds to make his art. The results are fun moving pieces of art.
Old drain pipes have been given new life. Using light and color the pipes are the center of an installation in Surat, India.
