The book offers an original account of the most innovative air-using strategies developed by artists and architects in the form of machines, robots, nomadic inflatables, bubbles, ambiances and atmospheres. It includes comments by cultural critics, art critics, curators and philosophers.
Going Aerial argues that air equals information. All organic air users – plants, humans and other animals – contribute to the hybrid space that is the atmosphere through breathing and sending chemical messages. Unlike other organic air users, humans, in addition, saturate air space with electronic data. The mode of going aerial enables us to receive and transmit airborne data of various sources, which were previously inaccessible due to a lack of technology and, more importantly, due to lack of awareness and interest in air as carrier, conductor and catalyst of communication processes. Although we consider the right to breathe as a basic human right, on an identical level with the right to live, our access to air is restricted, manipulated and politicised. Air has become increasingly commercialised, controlled, noisy and abundant with desirable and less than desirable information.
