Short Description
In my mother tongue, Time and Weather are the same. The starting point of the project is the double meaning of the word time in Portuguese: Tempo, whose meaning is both chronological linear time and non-linear weather. By means of two formulations - image and word - the project investigates the juxtaposition of time and weather to search for a world where many worlds are possible.
In Tempo-Imagem (Time-Image), a machine scans peripherally for open access weather monitoring cameras gazing at the world (skies, forests, glaciers, mountains and seas), and choreographs their streams in an attempt to construct a more-than-human language of time. The machine operates as a searching mechanism gathering an archive of time as weather, bounding the image of worldwide streams into one local motion.
In Tempo-Palavra (Time-word), an algorithm permutes a text into an infinite stream. Based on an archive of sentences composed in dialogue in Brazilian and European Portuguese, the algorithm searches for a pluriversal understanding of time within the gap of the two forms of language.
