The Vicissitude

Vicissitude explores the application of numerical systems to unpredictable natural phenomena. It is a series of generative artworks based on real-time weather data. A program written in TouchDesigner retrieves live data from the OpenWeather API, transforming it into parameters that shape the final visual output.

Much like the elusive nature of weather itself, the visuals offer minimal—if any—genuine insight into actual atmospheric conditions. Can the universal language of numbers capture the intricacies of natural phenomena? Can every facet of existence truly be reduced to data?
