Breath the building - Aerosol (1)

Ross Manning's project 'Aerosol' creatively explored how art might provoke new thinking about living in, and interacting with, buildings and their indoor atmospheres. Informed by state-of-the-art science and technologies for monitoring air quality, as well as ventilating/filtrating indoor environment, Aerosol produced DIY experiments in kinetic, immersive, and interactive art.

Ultra violet light can kill airborne pathogenes and sanitise the air. It can also course cancer and unwanted chemical reactions in the air. In this work, a parachute ‘breathes’ in ‘dirty’ air, cleans with UV then exhale ‘clean’ air.
