In the eye of the storm: a weather experiment
Moon, wind, thunder, birds, sky, earth, immaterial and material world, seeing, hearing and feeling are not separate entities in the holistic perception of the world. Rather, together with humans and animals, they form a flowing continuum. «Earth and sky are not opposed as real to immaterial, but inextricably linked within one indivisible field,» writes the anthropologist Tim Ingold. In her lecture Johanna Di Blasi (art historian and blogger) reflects on the experience of weather and how perception changes when the climate changes. And she invites you to take part in a weather experiment.
