Medium Matters constructs awareness of the existence of air, the unseen medium filling up spaces between our eyes and the visible forms of the built environment. By implementing means and methods to visualize it as a dynamic layer being seen through in front of naked human eyes, it inquires the physical and mental reactions of seeing this otherwise unperceivable medium during daily activities. With scientifically constructed optical instruments, this research questions how visually recognizing the built environment as a volume instead of a void space with surface boundaries might have impacts on our body sensorium as an ensemble.
