airball
The third of the series on Air, this gömböc-based object has a unique geometry that automatically rights or self-orients itself when tipped over. The AirBall carries a passive filtration system so that it is activated when it is pushed. When the AirBall gently sways back and forth to its point of equilibrium, the microfiber in its fin collects and filters the air of its immediate surroundings.
To continuously exert force to activate the AirBall’s filters requires a social engagement as people would take turns for a sustained benefit to all.
