Utilizing the force of an industrial cooler
and manipulating the materiality of air with
4.5 kW of cooling power; active air
conditions the volume of Ocular lab into
an intensive body of coldness.

generating, intensifying space. Any body
incorporates and gets incorporated;
perpetually exploring a relation to air (or)
exploring a difference of airs....
