kazamidori

kazamidori is a media gadget like weather vane to indicate the direction where visitors in a website are coming from in real-time. The weather vane is designed as a bird, like traditional weather vanes, as it will face the direction where the virtual 'wind' is coming from. Every day, visitors arrive at the website virtually and kazamidori aims to materialize the emotions of visitors to the site.

In this exhibition, we will point the system towards the website of the Amber Festival, (similar to Slogan Generator). As a result, visitors to the festival can see the direction where this festival is needed in the world, while imagining the subtle feelings of the virtual visitor.
