“The Wind That Moves Us” is a data-driven sculpture created by the research and design studio Domestic Data Streamers for Mango’s 40th anniversary.
The work uses survey responses from Mango team members. Those responses are quantified and translated into the dimensions and form of a sculptural bar-chart-like object. Domestic Data Streamers frames the piece as a sculpture that traces the team’s values, connecting Mango’s five corporate values with the Mediterranean metaphor of wind.
How to Read It
The work can be read both up close and from a distance.
First, identify the divisions corresponding to the five values. Then look at how the lengths, heights, or groupings change. The sculpture is not merely decorative; its form is partly determined by data collected from participants.
Why It Matters
The piece turns internal organizational values into a shared physical object. It is a data sculpture, but also a participatory ritual: employees’ answers become part of a collective artifact.
Summary
The Wind That Moves Us shows how survey data can become a spatial and symbolic object. It connects corporate identity, participation, and data physicalization through a carefully staged sculpture.
