風極體(Windiode) 是一件以風為媒介的動力藝術裝置,於海岸現地架設,將無形的氣流轉化為光的湧現。作品由 400 支簡易 DIY 風力探測棒組成,每一支由 2 米碳纖維棒、LED、汞傾斜開關與電池構成。當探測棒隨風力傾斜時,LED 瞬間閃亮,匯聚成流動的光場,彷彿風自身在夜空中留下的描線。這件裝置既是對風力動態的即時描繪,也是對自然能量如何被感知、轉譯並共同構成視覺經驗的探索。
Windiode is a kinetic installation that uses wind as both medium and performer, translating invisible air currents into emergent fields of light. Installed along the shoreline, the work consists of 400 DIY wind-sensing rods, each made from a two-meter carbon fiber pole, LED, mercury tilt switch, and battery. As each rod bends under the force of the wind, its LED flickers briefly, collectively generating a luminous landscape that reveals the fluid dynamics of the atmosphere. The piece acts as both a real-time drawing of the wind and an exploration of how natural energy can be perceived, translated, and shared as a collective visual experience.
