   Author : Hanna Husberg; Renate Lorenz; Anette Baldauf; Cecilia Åsberg; Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien; []
   Keywords : Noticing air; Aerial imaginaries; Materiality; relationality and performativity of air; Fine Art; Fri Konst;

   Abstract : Through the lense of four different art projects, Troubled Atmosphere – On Noticing Air looks at hybrid, layered, inconsistent, muddled, unruly, contaminated gatherings of air, inquiring how air has been conceptualised and perceived, and how the construction of aerial imaginaries enables specific ways of engaging with the world and excludes others. Paying attention to the materiality, relationality and performativity of air, noticing air is explored as a methodology to consider how air, approached as a naturalcultural and technoecological phenomenon, is made perceptible and knowable under historically specific circumstances, perceptual systems, and politics of representation.
