| 24 HRS AIR CLEANSER, Sampo-Rosenlew Factory Roof, Pori | ANA REWAKOWICS & ANNU WILENIUS | |
 |
Air Cleanser was installed on the roof of the Rosenlew Factory in Pori on December 15, 2008. It comprised of a geodesic dome inflated by one of the roof’s ventilators. The warm (and yet toxic) air that the vent provided created a suitable temperature for placing chosen houseplants over the period of 24 hours. Air Cleanser was inspired by NASA research about air purifying qualities of domestic plants published by B.C. Wolverton in 1989. According to this research our plants were absorbing factory pollutants and adding a small amount of “fresher” air into the environment. |
