ABSTRACT

The propeller of difference within the weather pattern can be thought of as a minor gesture. Weather patterns move across in a field of relation activated in the realm of the more-than-human, in the ecology of experience generated by the variational field itself. Weather Patterns is a work in progress precisely because such events that are ecological at their core and resonant in excess of human participation are extremely difficult to actualize. Weather patterns, like the minor gestures that inform them, invent both modes of thought and modes of perception. When a technological process is used to activate a weather pattern, what is necessary is a sense of how the technological can operate as a minor gesture. The artful makes felt the art of time, the event-time of the threshold, of the weather pattern.
