„Tuesday I Became Clouds” explores the relationship between artistic and scientific representation of clouds through the ubiquitous ‘weather app’. How can a weather app spark our imagination? The focus of this artistic research project is on the reconstruction - copying, imitating, and replicating - of visual material used to display the weather forecast in the Apple Weather app. The replicated visual material forms the basis for a series of artworks: visual essays, prints, moving image works, and installations. Thus, it continues my artistic practice of working on existing material - a practice that involves a sensitive and detailed approach to creating differences and insights, ultimately generating new narratives through repetition and recombination. Further exploration takes place in a series of transdisciplinary workshops, where artists and non-artists are brought into recursive interactions with the same task, I set for myself: the reproduction of an existing artwork or scientific artifact. To capture the imaginary world behind the replicated artworks and artifacts, I use techniques including auto-ethnography, narrative, and visual observation methods to observe, document, and reflect on the creation processes - making them transparent and contestable. Together, we investigate whether the uncertainty of clouds can become a site of negotiation between scientific and artistic ideas. “Tuesday I Became Clouds” starts a conversation in-between two fields: interdisciplinary cloud studies and the investigation of the intertwining of scientific and artistic image-making. It discusses the potential of observation as methodological action and reproduction as an experimental approach to making within a cross-disciplinary practice.
