Australian Cloud Atlas

Australian Cloud Atlas is a large projection work produced by Dugal McKinnon and myself, for screening in the Digital Arts program at the massive projection environment The Lume, at Melbourne Convention Centre. It showed in 2022-23 alongside the “Monet and Friends” exhibition. With over 150 projectors, this was the largest work I’ve ever produced, to say the least!

This project uses spectacular satellite images of clouds to highlight the importance of clouds to climate. Rendering images using both both visible and infrared light, the project visualises parts of the atmosphere that are invisible to the human eye. It is a unique combination of art, science and the Earth, showing how now more than ever, it is crucial that we all have our heads in the clouds.
