AIR: City Velocities – Body Speeds

City Velocities – Body Speeds is a project by Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec focusing on tactile experience of travel speed in urban environment. In the time of digital mediation and visualization of all real and physical, the project insists on the conviction to offer a first person physical experience of an omnipresent but invisible phenomena of speed. Resisting to offer an interpretation, it rather embodies the phenomena – creating the experience and thus confronting the visitor with its existence.

The artist in residence was a collaboration between NIMk, STEIM and Sonic Acts Festival. The installation was presented as part of the Sonic Acts – Travelling Time exhibition at NIMk from Februari 23 – April 15, 2012.

The project is supported by the Mondriaan Fund.
