ABSTRACT
I believe we can significantly increase our sense of recognition of own existence by feeling and understanding the environment. This research project explores the idea of using real-time environmental data like temperature, wind and humidity to create dynamic art, redefining the way we interpret and experience our surroundings. The purpose of this project is to provide an alternative way of understanding weather data through visual methods, enabling people to feel, think and receive the weather in a different perspective.
RESEARCH
The temperature, wind speed, and humidity may be invisible, but they significantly impact our lives. Exposure to bodies of water has been shown to improve mood, reduce stress, and increase cognitive functioning. On days with higher barometric pressure, people tend to be more agreeable, more conscientious, and less open to new experiences. Extreme weather events can lead to increased levels of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in affected populations.
Inspired by Refik Anadol's dynamic visualization of weather data and Olafur Eliasson's immersive installations, I aim to express the invisible surroundings through a weather data visualization project.
Instead of using colors that may interfere with the visualization's feeling, I will use neutral colors and abstract expressions to convey the force and intensity of the weather. By collecting real-time data and transforming it into a dynamic visual experience, my project aims to create a new way of understanding and engaging with our environment.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
openweathermap's API to collect the desired data, including temperature, wind speed, and humidity.
