Where is the wind when it is not blowing? In the new book The Wind
Tunnel Model, artist-scientist Florian Dombois and his fellow
researchers propose new forms of interaction between various
artistic disciplines as well as between arts and sciences. Rather
than defining a problem or a topic, around which people from the
involved disciplines group, Dombois has established a wind tunnel
laboratory with an empty test platform at Zurich University of the
Arts. It is an architecture that turns its back on us and forms
something invisible, a disturbingly concrete secondary model. The
book features essays by Dombois and his collaborators at the
laboratory. They reflect not only on this idea for a new
transdisciplinary collaboration. They also pledge for an exchange
between verbal and non-verbal thinking modelled on the man engine,
a mechanism of reciprocating ladders and stationary platforms
installed in mines to assist the miners' journeys to and from the
working levels. For Dombois, the device is the key metaphor for his
team and their work at the artistic wind tunnel.
