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 is derived from the term “Skyline,” which refers to the apparent juncture of earth and sky, often describing the silhouette of city skyscrapers against the sky.
The concept explores the uncontrolled development of urbanism, a dynamic process that can only be perceived from the sky.
The art installation AIR SKYLEN envisions the visitor as a traveler taking a plane from the airport to the skies of Hanoi, using airlines and urbanism as key symbols.
AIR SKYLEN engages visitors with themes from the myth of Icarus: To escape from a maze, Icarus attached wings to himself with wax. Excited by the light, he ignored the advice not to fly too high or too close to the sun. In the end, the wax melted, and Icarus crashed into the sea.
AIR SKYLEN is questioning our vision for the future based on unlimited growth.
