Weather exists as an atmosphere that can be measured, as an environment that can be inhabited, and as a time in which we experience humidity, pressure, temperature, and visibility. What would be the appropriate terms for the weather that could cover this triad of issues - measurement, experience, and time? This weather glossary is a guide to navigating the present moment on the ground and in the air, in our bodies and in our surroundings. It examines the significance of weather as a reality defined through scientific models and technical sensors, while being experienced differently and irregularly in various parts of the planet. It studies weather as an ecology that takes into account its technologies and their impacts, its scientific language and its poetic language, its phenomena and their interpretations, through various perspectives, cultures, and geographies.
The Glossary accompanies the exhibition "Weather Engines" (edited by Daphne Dragona and Jussi Parikka) and offers familiar and unexpected terms proposed and written by artists, philosophers, academics, and architects.
