Erratic Weather by French multimedia artist Mathieu Le Sourd (Maotik) are three short works that address climate change by creating an intelligent data environment where various forms of information are expressed in a dynamic representation of physical space. Data is synchronized with the rise and fall of sea levels, temperature, humidity and weather, which influence the composition that continually changes thereby creating abstract environments, which offers various levels of immersion.
The idea is to alter the audience’s perspective of their relationship to the world’s climate by immersing them in abstract sound and visual landscapes.
