Breath

Breath from Philippe Moore on Vimeo.

Breath illustrates the relationship between how we choose to portray our selves and the necessary actions required in order to activate those identifiers.

The motion of the fan acts as the breath, giving life to the masks of identity spread before it.

An Arduino board controls the fan, turning it on for four seconds, off for four seconds, on again, etc.

Participants are invited to interchange the flags, make new ones and arrange them how they see fit.

While many people might identify with some or all of the flags shown, no combination or amount is sufficient to fully describe any person.

As such, every display is a fragmented view, a momentary glimpse of an individual.
