Crossroad

About

Hagar Elazari presents the interactive installations Crossroad and Meteo Generative.

This is what she says about the works:

Crossroad:

Some people find comfort in a horoscope, others in talking to a psychic. I find that the comfort that is sometimes conveyed to people through motivational quotes has a lot in common with the two phenomena mentioned above. Both are vague and can be interpreted to fit different situations. In this installation I try to capture this phenomenon.

Meteo Generative:

This is a generative platform based on the idea that an algorithm using data from a nearby weather sensor can generate different patterns based on the readings from that sensor. It's a poetic way to read data in a way that's both aesthetic and thought-provoking. Do we really need to know the exact temperature, humidity, or barometric pressure? Or could we interpret patterns in ways that aren't so precise, but rather convey a feeling.
