Pinwheels is an ambient display that spins in a wind of digital information(bits).
The spinning pinwheels allow people to feel the flow of bits representing
human activities or happenings in the natural world in their peripheral
vision while they concentrate on other activities (such as conversation)
in the foreground. For example solar winds. An astronomer following
the activities of a solar corona could install these pinwheels in
his or her home in order to monitor them in the background. Being
peripherally aware of subtle changes in solar activity leading up
to significant events could help the astronomer time periods of intensive
observation. The basic concept is to make solar winds of ionized particles
and all kinds of other information flows perceptible in architectural
space as a "wind" driving old-fashioned pinwheels.
