Tele-Present Wind: An Art Installation Bridging Continents

David Bowen's 'Tele-Present Wind' art installation uses an accelerometer connected to a plant stalk outdoors and 126 mechanical devices in a gallery to simulate wind in real-time. Whether in Bilbao, Spain or Moscow, the installation precisely captures and displays the wind's movement from a location near the University of Minnesota's Visualization and Digital Imaging Lab, thousands of miles away. This seamlessly blends technology and nature, creating a powerful artistic representation of environmental forces.
