Josse Pyl

Helena suggested that I research the sculptural artist Josse Pyl as inspiration for my wind/convection mapping sculpture. The focus on wind and air currents is a fairly recent progression from the previous ideas around mapping the senses or perception or green spaces within a city. Pyl portrays sensations and the inner workings of the creative mind via a tangible 3D medium. He explores the visual translation of communication as idea and material form in our daily environment, from its function to its graphical representation and on to its subsequent reception. Josse uses visual, kinetic, and sculptural shapes in order to expose the machinery behind those marks that connect one human to another. He gives things that do not physically exist their own visual language, much as I would like to achieve within this mapping assignment. The user experience and immersion within a feature within his work, this could also be a desirable feature in my own. Mapping human movement within a room for example as they displace air would be very interesting.
