About The Exhibition
Over the course of the exhibition, a dead (broken) ceiling fan is brought back to life with 12 little propeller fans that work together. The little fans (micro) push and pulse so that the bigger fan (macro) can circulate air again, like shanties turning a capstan. The 12 little fans run on a 7 minute program loop, which is designed for longevity and choreography – air becomes the instrument to the perceived sound. Every time the dead ceiling fan resurrects, it continues circulating until the propeller fans run out of cell energy. 46° and 12° accompany Dead Air and are described as two abstract ritual objects that are embodied by a “line of heat” and “line of cold”.
About The Artist
Born in Missouri in 1984 and currently based in Hong Kong, Samuel Adam Swope is an artist most recognized for his Aerial Art and for inventing novel situations with artistic merit. For him, the Aerial Arts are works that integrate flight or levitation as a means of visual expression, and which may also use air or gas as a physical medium. He believes with innovative techniques and an increasing accessibility of contemporary flight technologies, the possibility for a more radical and spectacular aerial art is possible.
