“Reverence” is a series of innovative art-tech projects that merges the ephemerality of nature with artistic renditions in reactive installation art. It seeks to bridge the gaps of distance and awareness by transforming live environmental data into dynamic, evolving artworks, crafted to deepen our connection to the environment.
The first chapter of this project, “Reverence to the Winds,” draws inspiration from recent environmental crises shaped by wind — an element that serves both as a vital force for humanity to harness and a powerful reminder of nature’s unforgiving strength.
This installation utilizes weather data sensors and algorithmic systems to create a multi-sensory experience — a technological mimesis of the traditional Asian “Four Arts” (cầm, kỳ, thi, họa) through AI and computational processes. It embodies a form of poiesis that reflects the ever-changing natural world, illustrating how even the subtlest shifts in climate can ripple into profound consequences, much like the butterfly effect.
Integrating a weather sensor with three interconnected algorithmic systems, the piece generates a multi-sensory experience encompassing visual, auditory, and tactile elements. Extending the tradition of poetic responses to the environment and changing seasons, the installation dynamically mirrors the natural world that inspires it, evolving in real-time.
