Blowup by Scott Snibbe (image above, video here) is a user breath controlled installation employing an array of twelve impellers as sensors to trigger and control a room filled with an array of twelve electric fans. The installations:

processes of recording, translation and amplification is meant to increase the breath’s salience and legibility, while detaching the breath from the body that allegedly produced it. The process of observing this translation and translocation of respiratory activity may prompt the sender to consider the connection between one’s person and the air it exchanges, and, more broadly, the existence of any self independent of the air which signals its presence.

Slightly newer is Breeze Reflection by Djeff (image above, video below), an installation where light and air are controlled by motion tracking the users body movement. Here pixels of captured video in effect become ‘pixels’ of wind.
