Flow
More than once I have been at an electronics surplus store and paused at a pile of computer cooling fans and thought, "hmm... what could I do with those?" Here's an artist who had an answer for that. Very cool stuff!
See the video on the artist's website.
Reblogged via Rhizome.org (who reblogged it from digitalexperience.dk):
Flow 5.0 is an interactive art installation consisting of hundreds of ventilators, each being controlled individually by various sensors.
Microphones and other sensors control the direction and speed of the fans as visitors pass through a corridor. The fans form the walls of the corridor, and they remain off until a visitor moves in front of them.
Daan Roosegaarde, the creator of Flow 5.0, describes it as an interactive landscape made out of hundreds of ventilators which reacts on your sound and motion. By walking and interacting the visitors creates an illusive landscape of transparencies and artificial wind.

Nice!
One of my favorite pinball machine concepts was Williams Electronics' Whirlwind, which had a muffin fan mounted on top of the backglass. When you hit multiball, it would say "Feel the Power of the Wind!" and start blowing air at you. Hilarious.
(Even cooler was a machine—I thought it was Stern's Galaxy but now I'm not sure—that had endlessly-rising semitones during play. The sense of tension that created was unbelievable.)
