A multi-screen permanent video installation created for Coast Commissions.
Students
collect video clips of weather conditions from around the world. Once
collected, these clips form a database, which is held on a permanently
networked server. The software monitors a local weather station through
the Internet. As the climate conditions change, the computer plays the
relevant video clips on thirty flat screen monitors suspended off the
ceiling. The screens show three different versions of the weather conditions;
for example, when it is raining the screens show rain from around the
world. Most of the screens hang facing downwards forming a cluster (cloud)
in the atrium.
