Wind Wervel an artistic research project, (2023)
We are Dennis (@dennisvantilburgmusic) and Iris, multidisciplinary makers specializing in sound and spatial design. We have immersed ourselves in the landscape of Flevoland. To us, the wind turbines quite literally stand out — Flevoland is the province with the most windmills in the Netherlands, and they have become iconic features of its landscape.
This summer, we presented our research through a spatial map and a drawn mab of Flevoland, filled with our discoveries, insights, and ideas surrounding the future of Windmills.
The central concept I created was to create a tiny house windmill park — a place where aging wind turbines, which will eventually reach the end of their operational lives, can "retire" and be transformed into homes for people in Flevoland.
Dennis created a musical album inspired by the sounds of windmills! You can check out his project here: https://dennisvantilburg.nl/windlab/
