Feeling of empty on mind
People use a fan in the summer to reduce their body heat and enjoy the wind blowing on their face. “Fanning” creates a soft wind. This wind cool down the heat and relieves people’s stress from the hot temperatures in the city and other annoying things around them.

The project “Fanning” creates the feeling of empty on mind. It is as if you leave the realities of life behind for a while by “Fanning”. When the user uses a fan on his or her face, he or she will see scattering face image on the screen by the wind which is controlled by the fan. The user will decide to control the wind strength and angles as if life is controlled him or herself. The flying pixels of the face image on the screen sybolize the blowing out of complicated and stifling realities.

User Experience
1. The user uses a fan on his or her face in front of the screen.
2. On the screen, the user’s face image will move in relation to the speed and angle of the fanning.
3. When the user uses the fan for a certain amount of time, the face image will disappear completely.
4. The other audiences will see disappearing the user's face image at the other side of screen.
