Weather and climate affect how we live and how we imagine the future of the planet. Meteorology is the official language for naming the dynamics of pressure, temperature and humidity, but, beyond scientific language, we also constantly experience, imagine and create weather and climate. Weather can be described as variable: extreme temperatures hit some regions harder than others and the atmosphere becomes unbearable. Climate varies across the world – literally and metaphorically – with some areas and populations experiencing unbearable conditions for long periods of time. Talking about weather and climate today means recognising that extreme conditions leave some exposed and others protected, some worn out and others profiting from weather forecasts.
Climate Engines proposes art as a technique of knowledge to explore weather and climate as complex systems, as objects of observation and control, and as forms of lived experience. The artworks, talks and workshops refer to natural phenomena and climate change, to past and contemporary geoengineering strategies, as well as to different atmospheres related to breathing and life. The exhibition addresses the need for climate justice while inviting us to embrace the surrounding more-than-human world(s).
