A 250-foot sweep of gold and magenta fringe becomes a pseudo-scientific instrument for studying the Santa Ana winds. Unfurled in powerful gusts, the fringe captures movement, sound, and velocity, while small high-altitude experiments unfold around it. Gathered specimens—desiccated cactus, rose quartz, petrified wood—along with our audio-video recordings and the tattered remnants of the fringe, serve as mnemonic vessels of the site and its shifting forces.
