Atmospheric Interactions
Collaboration with artists Dr. Jenn Kirby and Hiromi Okumura, and with environment scientists Dr. Thomas Jobson and Dr. Joseph Vaughan.
Atmospheric Interactions is a real-time audiovisual installation which uses meteorological data from the PACCAR research building at Washington State University (Laboratory for Atmospheric Research). Three artists worked with atmospheric scientists to realize the project. The publicly provided data from PACCAR is visualized and sonified in real-time. The installation becomes visible and audible when interacted with via a camera. The aim is to encourage participants to see themselves as a part of the earth. The video on the right shows both real-time interaction and video without interaction. (the video on the left is from a windier day!)
