Wrk: Heaven's Breath - Weather Interactive Installation
Surrey Art Gallery Presents
Heaven’s Breath
A collaboration between Chris Welsby, Brady Marks and Scheherazaad Cooper
March 21 – August 30, 2009
The new media installation Heaven’s Breath is inspired by an eleventh century figurine depicting the Hindu God, Shiva, performing the dance of creation and destruction. According to the Hindu faith, Shiva's dance brought the universe into existence, not unlike the Big Bang of Western scientific cosmology. Heaven's Breath combines Oddisi dance with interactive technology and real time weather data. The animation of images and accompanying sound effects is driven by the power of the wind, which is in turn driven by the rotation of the earth. In this way Heaven's Breath seeks to connect Shiva's dance, via the earth's orbit, to the gravitational forces of the solar system and the far reaches of the universe. Drawing on the cosmologies of East and West, and the knowledge of the ancient and modern world, the installation uses digital technology to make connections between science, religion and art.
