Local Forecast, 2024
single-channel video with colour and sound4:20 minutes
ππ°π€π’π ππ°π³π¦π€π’π΄π΅ is a fictional weather broadcast constructed through the nostalgic visual language of vintage arcade games. Blending found footage, personal video archives, simulated landscapes, and fragmented texts, the work reimagines the weather forecast as a speculative interface between nature, technology, and human perception.
Set within an imagined near future, the piece reflects on a world where environmental conditions are increasingly modified and controlled by human intervention. Forecasts no longer simply describe nature, but become systems that influence emotional states, collective behaviour, and our understanding of reality itself.
Through the selection of different weather conditions, the audience β acting as players β are guided towards a series of unexpected endings. Oscillating between absurdity and reality, ππ°π€π’π ππ°π³π¦π€π’π΄π΅ merges a speculative futuristic narrative with the aesthetics of vintage arcade games, unfolding as a fragmented visual essay where climate, language, and digital culture collapse into one another.
