Inside classical weather instrument shelters an artificial storm rages: the sound of thunderstorm is accompanied by lightning, wind and fog.
Our attention is drawn to the subjectivity of perception, since the inner mechanisms are fully detached from the outer world, just as we are often guided by our beliefs and expectations.
The desperate need to measure and understand fully such highly complex and chaotic systems like the weather reflects our visceral desire for order and security, while the aim for accurate prediction reveals humanity’s universal aspiration to foresee the future. However, the harder we try to influence factors beyond our control, the more we are confronted with unpredictability – and the stormier our inner world becomes.

Why do we still need human mediation despite increasingly sophisticated forecasting models and digital technologies? What role do human perception and knowledge play in making forecasts? Is it possible to imagine prognostics without human intervention? How relevant are everyday weather observations in the context of climate change?
During the research residency of Workshop Foundation in Budapest, we explored the connections and expressive possibilities of meteorology history, multimedia, and movement.
