An artist named Zimoun, famous for using everyday materials to create hypnotic soundscapes, has taken regular packing peanuts to a whole new level.
At the Art Museum of Lugano in Switzerland, Zimoun's newest installation - 36 ventilators, 4.7m3 packing chips - is basically a room filled with swirling packing peanuts and white noise.
You look and listen from the outside.

A series of ventilation fans send the peanuts into an constantly-moving flow.
Each window of the museum is a separate chamber filled with styrofoam.

The result is mesmerizing.

The exhibition runs from April 26 - July 11, 2014 at the Art Museum of Lugano.
