The Atlas Copco E-Air H185 electric air compressor is gaining attention in the art world, particularly in a new performance installation called "Inferno" in Prague. This project combines technology and art, featuring dancers in mechanical exoskeletons powered by the compressor. The E-Air H185 is praised for its compact size, quiet operation, and emissions-free performance, making it suitable for indoor settings. It provides a stable air supply, essential for the precision needed in the show, while maintaining a focus on the performance. Production manager Jakub Hykeš noted that the compressor's unobtrusive power source was crucial for the success of "Inferno." The installation explores themes of control between humans and machines, continuing a concept that has evolved since its initial run in 2011.
