The wind is not a machine but a powerful and turbulent force of nature.

So the proposition is nonsense, but why does it intrigue?

This installation harnesses a "brain" of machines manufactured and driven by electricity, also a force of nature adapted by humankind uniquely in our anthropocene time, barely a thousandth thousandth of Earth's Big History.

Amongst over 60 billion ones and zeros meticulously ordered on seven data sticks are encoded representations of physical and subtle worlds processed through one of over eight billion human brains functioning this day on our planet home. The machine is not these physical and subtle things, neither is the wind, nor the brain. Each and every second of thirty-two minutes play duration, exactly two hundred twenty five pictures rush by.

This is the machine. And its half million pictures which you see and hear.

The wind is innocent and uncountable.

The work in progress (ongoing) is the synthesis of nature inside a building.

The installation is constructed using freeware video and audio editors, Shotcut and Audacity, and is presented as a thirty-two minute loop on three tvs and six projectors synchronized by Lupa media players and a network switch.

Video and sound field recordings are by the artist between 1998 & 2024.

A loose narrative is referenced on the “clock” tv, and progresses through emergence, sentience, humans to afterward: Earth's journey writ by humans in the Anthropocene.
