In the “Free Art Space” Solo Exhibition, I replaced the fan blades with an Ultrasonic Directional Speaker module that plays fan noise. Hidden motors in the walls and ceiling subtly swing the exhibition posters and pendant lights, synchronizing their motion with the fan’s rotation to simulate the effect of wind. These overlapping visual and auditory cues create the sensation of airflow in a windless space, making the presence of wind feel real. In doing so, the work redefines wind as a man-made construct—an illusion fabricated by the brain.

Meanwhile, the shifting objects blur the spatial function, making it unclear whether viewers are standing in an exhibition area or merely passing through a corridor. This discrepancy between sensory perception and spatial logic destabilizes the experience of the venue, transforming it from a passive backdrop into something to be re-seen and reinterpreted.
