Atmosphere

A new aesthetics of the phase change, micro-threshold and limit seems to be arising – one pervading the practices of artists and designers who increasingly attend in their work to the movement and transformation of climates, clouds, air, haze, acoustic waves or thermal assemblages. But the creation of such “atmospheres” is puzzling: for atmospheres are slippery entities: not localized, a surplus, a not really there, an in-between state, a feeling that is somehow nowhere. Thus, if all that is solid melts into air, the moment of political-social- technical and ecological crisis in which we are immersed provokes many disciplines to turn towards the theorization and production of atmospheres; intangible, hard to grasp and hold onto strange entities that nonetheless do something to us as perceiving beings in the world.
