Strange Weathers
I am very happy that our Strange Weathers special issue of Neural Magazine is out! It includes new texts, reviews, and interviews with for example Karolina Sobecka, Superflux, Lise Autogena and Joshua Portway, Open Weather, and Jana Winderen. Co-edited with Daphne Dragona, the special issue follows on from our Weather Engines exhibition in Athens (2022, Onassis Stegi) as well as the book we published in that context: Words of Weather, a new vocabulary for a political ecology.
In further news, the exhibition and public program will be continued in Spain in Autumn 2023. A separate announcement on that is forthcoming. In the meantime, enjoy the special issue (and considering subscribing to Neural – or recommending your library to do that).

The cover of the special issue features Sophie Dyer from Open Weather group, from their workshop in Athens in 2022.
Words of Weather out soon
As part of the Weather Engines exhibition we have edited the book Words of Weather, a glossary for terms for weather , out soon in English and Greek. Details where to order coming soon. Below a sneak peak at the wonderful roster of contributors and terms.



Weather Engines interview on Resonance FM
Here’s a recent radio interview recording about the Weather Engines project (2021/2022) funded by the Onassis Stegi (Athens). It also includes a discussion of the new film piece by Matterlurgy called “Hydromancy”, on at the Hansard Gallery in Southampton (do visit) as well as online. The work emerges from a residency at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, a co-commission by the John Hansard Gallery and Onassis Stegi.
A thank you to Jude Montagu for this chat.
Hydromancy by Matterlurgy
Hydromancy by Matterlurgy is a new film and installation on at the John Hansard Gallery (JHG). It is a commission by the JHG and Onassis Stegi (Athens) as part of our on-going Weather Engines project that I am curating with Daphne Dragona.
You can see it on the large digital screens at the Hansard in Southampton (and next year installed in Athens) but also online:

Hydromancy is “filmed on location at the University of Southampton’s National Oceanography Centre, a globally renowned centre for developing technologies that investigate the world’s oceans, earth systems and biosphere, Hydromancy blends documentary with artistic intervention, considering the ocean as both a sensory environment and scientific object. As viewers, we visit a coral lab bathed in blue light, an engineering workshop, and enter a room bubbling with algae and phytoplankton.”
