Rorschach Clouds 2006
LOCATION Re:mote Symposium, ISEA, San Jose
'Surface observation of a single cell cumulonimbus' is the
scientific description for the phenomena observed in the work 'Rorschach Clouds'. Cloud observation from the ground is generally understood to be more subjective in nature by scientists than the remote view of satellite imaging or digital logging of weather data.
The decay of a single cell cumulonimbus cloud is rapid and they seldom exist for more than half an hour. The complex dynamical system of clouds also has parallels with generative data processing.
The audio track is a single tone which alters automatically depending on how much ‘blue’ is present in the video image. The cloud movement also generates changes in the tone.
