With ‘Mutual Air,’ This California Artist Leverages The Sounds Of Science

The video discusses the Mutual Air project by artist Ruston Woo, which uses sound installations to measure air pollution in the Bay Area. The project aims to raise awareness about air quality by using a device that detects PM 2.5 particles and creates musical sounds. The installation serves as both an artistic expression and a tool for environmental advocacy, especially in areas with poor air quality like Oakland. The project gained attention during California's wildfires, highlighting its potential to engage the public in environmental issues.
