Istanbul - "Notes on Air" is the immersive installation conceived and designed by the interdisciplinary design agency 2050+ for the Forum of Salt Beyoğlu in Istanbul. The installation stages a reinterpretation of air toxicity using a blend of material, sound, and visual experiments. Through this aesthetic exploration, typically intangible or invisible elements provide an opportunity for a concrete experience. The installation encourages visitors to interact with the materiality of air. An animated reconstruction of Istanbul's sky, created using photogrammetry, will highlight and give shape to the invisible gaseous substances enveloping the Earth. "Notes on Air" is a call to broaden our understanding of the complexities inherent in the air we breathe. It invites exploration not only of the toxicity permeating and traveling through the air, but also the intricate social and political ramifications it carries, the local and global traces it unveils, and the undeniable planetary interconnections it underscores. The exhibition, organized by Salt Beyoğlu in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of Istanbul, will be open until August 18th at the Forum of Salt Beyoğlu. 2050+ is an interdisciplinary agency based in Milan whose work revolves around various forms of critical spatial practices intersecting technology, politics, and the environment. Founded in 2020, the agency has carried out several projects including curatorial and research practices, exhibition design, and architecture. (9colonne)
