"Something in the Air" is an installation dealing with the element "air" and the research of "atmosphere". Metereological data is gathered by a weather station and sent as "live" scientific data such as wind force, wind direction, hours of sunshine, rain, temperature and humidity to a computer in the exhibition room.

The continuous metereological data stream is translated into signals to drive digital sound, scent, and light-generators. According to specific weather situations, 25 different accords of piano music, are activated. The scientific data are translated into air molecules (scent), air movements (echo, sound) and physical wave-length of the light and allow in this way a more intensive and changed perception of the everyday phenomena. The volatile atmosphere is unstable - the visitor can experience the changes - and recognize which change of weather produces which scent, sound or change in the intensity of light. Scent stations in the exhibition room, are activated according to the data gathered by the weather station. Smells can be associated with temperature, dryness or humidity - similar to sounds and colour intensity. A dialogue is created between inside (artistic translation of scientifically measured and calculated data) and outside (sculptural weather measuring station).

The installation "Something in the Air" works with volatile, non-visual elements in air (sound, smell). The consciousness and the perception of the visitors, which expose themselves to the coded air resonance and light streams are intensified. A central part of the
