Zimoun's Newest Installation Includes A Packing Chip Warehouse Party

Swiss sound architect,Zimoun, is really good at making mundane objects exciting. The artist's installations take objects typically reserved for shipping warehouses and equipts them with DC-motors, ventilators, and other objects to give life to the lifeless.

His newest exhibition, 36 ventilators, 4.7m³, opens this Saturday at the Art Museum of Lugano in Switzerland where he'll spark styrofoam storms by installing four ventilators at nine separate windows of the museum. Though the fans are only reserved for the spaces just below the windows, from the outside it looks as if there's a massive plastic party going on inside the entire space. The constant rat-ta-ta-ta of the chips on the window panes only makes the impression of a animated-object ripper stronger.

Watch a video of the installation in action above. This is what it looks like if the innards of a Staples were possessed over night.

The exhibition will run from April 26 – July 11, 2014.
