After «seeding» the
chamber, the researchers adjusted the
temperature, first setting it to the
coldest temperatures at which clouds form on Earth (around minus 81 degrees Fahrenheit).
The works on display are: 432Hz (2009 - 2014), a wooden shell that contains honeycombs; Vorkuta (2003), a refrigeration
chamber where the
temperature of -30 °C contrasts with a chair maintained
at a constant +37 °C by an internal thermostat; Mindfall (2004 - 2007), a container which contains a chair and tables, on which 21 electric motors turn on intermittently, one after the other, creating a sort of musical composition; Untitled (2003), a small iron room crossed by blasts of hot and
cold air channelled into the space by powerful fans; and Sub (2014), a new work specially created for the exhibition
at HangarBicocca, an assembly of aluminium and glass display units which the artist originally designed to exhibit her Inner Disorder (1999 - 2001) series of drawings.
