The Weather Followers, David Colombini 2017
The Weather Followers
«The Weather Followers» is a sculpture connected to a webapp that brings serendipity to your digital life, using constantly evolving weather data recorded by four weather instruments.
The project offers humour, poetry and surprise as an alternative to ‘smart’ applications and predictive, comfortable digital routines. Instead of our decisions being driven by intangible algorithms and hidden lines of code, The Weather Followers helps us feel the speed and direction of the wind, the amount of particulate matter in the air, the intensity of the sun or the rhythm of the rain.

With a BA in Interaction Design and a passion for architecture and new media, I’m creating works which often embrace humour and poetry to question the impact of fast evolving technology into our daily life.
Nowadays, western societies tend to use smart technologies in an attempt to control and optimize every aspect of life. In this context, I’m using a range of different skills to create digital and physical experiences that invite humans to rediscover a loss of control by playing with the poetics of the unexpected and the serendipitous.
