The Wind Draws////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Wind's mood translate onto poetic draws.

FR / EN

After several years of programming and reflexion on generativity, it seems to me then, that it is important to play with the variables and complexities that nature can offer. Like an agent which would come to collect randoms to modify a unit of it.
But then...
How to offer the user a new reactive experiment ?
How to re transcribe a natural, random and poetic state ?

The anemometer used here is made up of rotary mechanisms (pushed by the wind) onto which are grafted optic sensors.
Once connected to the computer, the device makes it possible to track wind data in real time.
Using this device which track mood/places/states that the wind can produce, I want to retranslate the moods/places states produced by the wind, which are translated by the device, in form of a drawing : «The Wind Draws».
A disappear as an author, allowing the programme/protocol to give a poetic form to the drawing. Virtual pencil placed by the programming, contain a large number of reaction to variables tracked by the anemometer, giving a graphic translation to the wind's moods.
