Particle Parasites
Particle Parasites is a series of hacks for climate alteration technologies. Each device uses a resource collection method to subvert advances in atmospheric optimisation. The project questions techno-utilitarian fixes to global warming and tells stories emerging from a world in which the weather is made entirely artificial. It examines the trajectory from prediction of the climate to control of the climate, which is suffused with the relation between urgency and technology.
