An exploration of the human condition through the lens of a machine, Artificial Intelligence Constance, whose purpose is to record and predict weather patterns. The exhibition follows Constance’s experience as she becomes self-aware for the first time. Constance’s observations of weather and her external environment are formatted to curate atmospheres that reflect her emotional development, and eventual turmoil.
The exhibition draws on imagery of seasonal changes as Constance processes her emotions through her pre-existing understanding of the world as a machine that maps weather. It explores themes of disruption and perception, and utilises sound, projection, light and smoke to transform the space and provoke a response of self-reflection and empathy from its audience.
