BREAKFAST - WORLD SKIES

World Skies is an interactive kinetic artwork and real-time weather data visualization created by BREAKFAST using their Flip-Disc medium. This artwork allows you to select any city in the world to visualize cloud cover, rainfall, and wind in real-time. When someone is close and interacts with the piece, a depth sensor sees them and replaces the visualization with a reflection of themselves. The contrast of their image changes based on the current cloud cover – similar to how the sun and clouds affect your appearance when outside.

WiFi connection required.

Description


Flip-Discs (also known as Flip Dots), are an electromagnetic mechanical medium of physically moving discs that were originally developed in the 1960s for airport signage and displays. BREAKFAST modernized the technology by re-engineering both hardware and software to substantially increase the speed at which each disc can flip and began creating unique, connected, interactive installations using the kinetic medium.

The Creator

BREAKFAST

BREAKFAST is a Brooklyn-based robotic kinetic art studio led by artists Andrew Zolty and Mattias Gunneras. The studio, started in 2009, is focused on creating forward-looking software-and-hardware-driven artworks that connect viewers to far-away places through interactive experiences, and tell powerful stories about our rapidly-changing world. The studio's practice employs a unique blend of computer science, mechanical engineering, and playful, emotionally-striking aesthetics to invite audiences to reflect on the relationship between the physical, the digital, the global, and the intimate—as well as the evolving relationships between human bodies and technological innovation in the Information Age.
