“Weather Engines” explored the poetics, politics, and technologies of the environment from the ground to the sky, and from soil to atmosphere.
The weather is a dynamic system of pressure, temperature and humidity. It manifests through maps, media, and simulations while it touches the skin. Weather is felt unevenly, from extremes to mundane mildness of a breeze. Some are exposed, some are sheltered; weather wears some down, some gain profit. “Weather Engines” was an art exhibition and a program of talks, performances and workshops that explored weather as a complex system, as observation and control, and as a lived experience.

The artworks outlined an environmental aesthetics that also addressed climate justice. The exhibition brought to view the conflicts in describing, experiencing, and resisting colonial weather and atmospheres. In the age of anthropogenic climate, all weather is artificial. If all weather is made, then this also means that there is still the potential to struggle for the weathers and climates we would rather want to live in.
