The Supertask
With Sascha Pohflepp
Yesterday's Today (from The Supertask series)
Part of our ongoing effort to make a model of the whole world (The Supertask), Yesterday's Today constructs a space in which the visitor experiences the temperature as predicted by The Weather Channel on the previous day.
Since the weather forecast is based on a computational model of reality, this artificially-created alternate present – or rather any fluctuation between it and the actual outside environment – embodies the space between the model and reality.
In collaboration with Sascha Pohflepp
With thanks to Professor George Attard, Dr Ali Tavassoli and Complexity Science at the University of Southampton.
Created in September 2011 for Q.E.D: Quod Erat Demonstrandum curated by Sarah Cook and Jean Gagnon
