Breathing Wall

Let your mind breathe.

Story

Entertainment, advertisements, news, chat and schedules: all of these are accessed through your smart phone. However, we now live in an age in which each and every device within a physical space can deliver relevant information and influence each other through their interactions. It is useful because fluid linear thinking will never require an effort. However, it's also a burden because to entertain the abstract, to stumble upon unexpected insights or to come to a resolute decision, one must have a clear mind.

Concept

Our unconscious thoughts ripple like a passing breeze and so does this wall. In an over-stimulating atmosphere so cluttered with information, this object gives us a chance to be struck with inspiration and escape into meditative thought by allowing a natural, unregulated tactile experience which cuts through the noise.

Function

This device responds to the wind blowing outside of the room and allows just the movement of the air to pass through. This then quietly makes the wall undulate, appearing like the wall itself is breathing.

Scene

It could easily be imagined in a living room, high-rise buildings, basements, a spaceship, or any airtight spaces in which windows cannot be used.

Next Step

- Use beyond just the inside of a room to places where it could respond to wind such as beach resorts or exotic locations
- Spreading underneath glass floors and reacting to water instead of breeze or reactions to surfaces other than a wall;
