The “SIPER” group has re-purposed parts from a computer mouse with the addition of turbine blades to create a wind driven installation.
We used a photo interrupter sensor to provide speed and direction data. It is combined with a small turbine, to detect the wind pressure from the user's breathing.
The reasoning for blowing input was, to let the user be able to give his energy into the work.

The wind driven installation is finished. We decided to use a black “grid box” and a copper wire to represent energy.
With regard to the Quartz Composer the final visual is designed to represent the turbine blades of a windmill. The mouse is interacting with the screen on the Y Axis by turning the blades of the windmill faster, the faster one interacts with the screen, which in turn is connected to the time-code of the movie. This visualization is designed to show viewers the strength of their personal wind energy, whilst concurrently illustrating the ease of wind energy generation in a wider aspect.
