NA-Masses
Interactive Installation with Moving Image
Collaborate with Sound Sesigner: Shangyang Yu
The project NA-Masses presents a speculative future in which aerosols are preserved, collected and launched from the natural environment. The project is based on current science and technology that aims to use man-made aerosols to mitigate global warming, but that has yet to succeed.
In 2060, through ‘RC-Aerosols’ technology, the public can collect and launch natural aerosols by themselves. It becomes a breeze!
Aerosols are millions of solid particles and liquid droplets that are inhaled when we breathe. They are invisible but very important. There are two types of aerosols in the world.
One is man-made aerosols, they are mostly produced from human activities that are harmful to the environment, which absorb light to warm the earth. The other is natural aerosols, which can be found in every ecosystem. It can reflect radiation, cooling the atmosphere. The project NA-MASSES is preserving, collecting and launching aerosols from the natural environment in the future. It combines with speculative design in 2060, based on the fact that humans are struggling to use man-made aerosols to mitigate global warming.
In 2060, natural aerosols can be collected by ‘RC-Aerosols’ technology, which can filter out the anthropogenic aerosols and trap the natural aerosols with coatings by the resonant frequency at 1030Hz. Ultimately, the collected natural aerosols masses are Injected into the stratosphere with ‘Mix-hydrogen’ method. NA-Masses Launch program is not limited to experts and governments. It makes the collection and injection of natural aerosols becomes a breeze. Humans need to rethink and redefine our relationship with the air and with the natural environment. Why not use the power of nature to heal nature?
