Air Skylen – Airports
For the creative event “Thiet Ke & Cong Nghe” in HaNoi , a whole concept of an airline company, named AIR SKYLEN has been presented
Airlines are the symbols of the technology’s level of a country. It also shares the values also international connections and exchanges.
AIR SKYLEN derived also from the term Skyline, which is the apparent juncture of earth and sky, the horizon. It is often used to describe the silhouette of cities skyscrapers against the sky.
The concept described the uncontrolled development of urbanism, a dynamic process that can be only perceived from the sky.
The art installation AIR SKYLEN is considering the visitor as a traveler who is taking a plane from the airport to the sky of Ha Noi. It uses Airline and Urbanism as the key symbols.
AIR SKYLEN engages the visitor to the issues developed in
the myth of Icarus:
To escape from a maze, Icarus attached wings to him with wax. Excited by the flight, he forgot to follow
the advice not to go too high, not too close to the sun. At the, the wax melt
and Icarus crashed into the see.
AIR SKYLEN is questioning our vision for the future based on unlimited growth.
