Atmospherics - The Impossiblity of Enclosure

BY ERIN SIGAL

Atmospherics reimagines what many artists, scientists, architects, and engineers have been dreaming of for centuries: a designed atmosphere sealed off from the outside world. Rather than manipulating the environment to suit human needs, I will look to influence the atmosphere to suit the environment's needs. In the process, I’ll attempt to reconceptualize climate change as a source of design potential.
