installation is a polished stainless-steel table on which 12 petri dishes are placed, each containing a different satellite image of a place of the earth with extreme weather conditions (the hottest, the driest, the coldest, the windiest, the most humid ……places on earth). Through an opening in the middle of the table a video of images collected by an outside camera will be projected onto the ceiling. The video of moving clouds from the outside is transmitted into the inside and will be mirrored on the glossy surface of the table. The viewers will experience an enhanced perception of climate and its effects on human beings and their survival.

The whole installation can be experienced as an experiment with the climate - interchanging outside/inside. The perception of local and global weather is altered - interlinking scientific and sensory processes.

In Japan, the installation will be shown in a more extended version. Here the local weather data and their translation into sound, scent and light - are being contrasted with the weather data from those regions of the world which have extreme weather conditions and which are shown in the illuminated satellite images on the table and in this way creating an even more complex composition of sound, scent and light.
