Thesis: Am I Seeing Flies Because I am Bored or Because a Storm is Coming?

FM 120km/h is a build-up fantasy on the highway and the speed and sound currents passing through it. It starts with the scenario of being in a car, listening to the radio with open windows. An emphasis on movement, geometry and landscape happens in the making of two aeolian harps that function with the oscillation of ventilators. The space where it is exhibited, on top of the BC Building becomes somehow an amplifier for the building's own air and sound currents. It's about the aerodynamics of being still when everything else is moving. It's a sonic simulation landscape with wind as a motor.
