Aeolus & Me

Self-driven wind instruments in Virtual Space

'Aeolus & Me' is a virtual revitalisation of an ancient practice that involves altering a space or object to resonate with the wind. This process is referred to as Aeolian, after the Keeper of the Winds in Greek Mythos ‘Aeolus’, and accompanied sacred sites as a way to conduct nature through ritualistic activity. Users are invited to take control of the wind using their hands (Powered by Leap Motion) and pinch to build up wind around pillars with sails. Pillars can be raised at different heights to alter the pitch on the note being played.
