1990 Aperto Venice
Biennale di Venetia
At the 44th Venice Biennale - Aperto, an antenna will be mounted on the Arsenale, receiving live weather data from the Meteosat4 satellite. The images are assembled line by line - they can be seen on one control monitors integrated into the wall of the booth. The process of creation is the most important part of the installation. It takes four minutes to create a complete image with 900 lines. The images of the last 6 hours are shown in a time-lapse film. The short film sequence is projected from the ceiling onto a three-meter disc on the floor. The earth can be walked on as a disk. There were 5 columns on the disk, which used sensors to convert the clouds into various sounds. The movements of the clouds generated the sound.

Two control monitors embedded in the wall displayed and transmitted live signals. The software decoded the analog audio signal received directly from Meteosat-4. This technical system became the central element of the installation, transforming the satellite camera and the transmission path to the antenna at the Arsenale into integral parts of the artwork—a form of signal processing as process art.
The projection on the Earth’s globe was also live during the opening days. Subsequently, the live signal remained continuously visible on the control monitors.
LOOK –> cybernetic in art context
Und es ist Of course, also Software is been a Part of Installation
