Human-Cloud Project

Filips Stanislavskis

In our era, the Anthropocene, humanity has become a geophysical force on a planetary scale. With the development of climate engineering technology and propositions for artificial cloud creation, we cast ourselves as masters and managers of nature. But what if instead of controlling nature, we were to use cloud seeding technology to create a sense of belonging to the weather? This project proposes a series of experimental tools that attempt to blur the line between human and weather. The breath condensation device collects the user's exhalations. The weather balloon carries the liquid breaths to the sky. And the cloud generator vaporises them, forming a momentary human-cloud, a Cumulus Homomutatus. Could such a cloud of conscious breaths reveal how intimately related we are to the atmosphere?
