This project is a transparent pneumatic toroiodal form that shows turbulent geophysical air dynamics with thousands of animated carbon particles. This shows the global airflow at a very small scale, at which people can experience the whole scheme. I thought this project was interesting because the idea of physically displaying numerous particles seemed very novel, and I liked that it was rather a realistic portrayal of aerodynamics, not a representation that has been overly manipulated to be aesthetic.
