My project directly corresponds to the piece’s environment. The dynamic-ness of the outside weather is what brings the idea to life and gives it movement. The weather then, in turn, uses technology to create a new environment indoors.

I feel as though the weather is therefore using and usurping technology’s powers to further it’s impact on the space and everything that occupies the space. This has become the opposite of the normal situation, in which technology is used by man to impact the natural world. Now the situation is that the natural world is using technology to impact man.

Interestingly, it seems as though from either direction, technology is a tool, whereas nature and man are live players in this back and forth game. I would like to image that in some situations technology is a live player as well, but I am not sure that it is in this situation. Perhaps my view of technology is too literal, meaning that I only think of it as inanimate objects, maybe I should expand my view to include the intellectual spaces and properties that go hand in hand with it.

Any suggestions? What do you think technology is? Can it ever be considered alive?
