What’s the weather doing today?
Our climate is deeply ingrained within our social culture. It is the cornerstone of our conversations, whether meeting someone new or talking with a loved one.
Observing weather patterns is essential for humanity and our understanding of the climate must evolve every day.
We naturally associate temperature with sensory cues, such as pairing red and blue with hot and cold. But, why do we make these connections? Are they learned, or is there a deeper association?
Research has shown that the impact of colour and pattern on our psychology has significant impact on our understanding of our surroundings and condition.
We currently observe the weather – a complex, organic phenomenon through numerical data. Atmosphere aims to form a more cognitive connection with our climate, which can be better examined over time.

The artwork collates a minute-by-minute, geolocated weather dataset. It reads precise information on temperature, cloud coverage, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation.
Using algorithmic processing, the data is translated into a live, audiovisual artwork that represents the atmospheric conditions.
Due to the ever changing parameters of weather data, the artwork will always present a unique animation, dependent on the time of day, month or year.
The idea of maintaining balance between modern life and the natural world is a notion many people are seeking. Being attuned to our evolving climate can provide a grounding sense of connection to the world around us that is essential for our well-being. Atmosphere aims to help us maintain this relationship in an increasingly digital-driven environment.
