Atmospheric Thinking encourages artists and viewers to recognize the sky not simply as scenery, but as a dynamic, layered field where perception, ecology, technology, culture, and memory intersect. As climate systems shift, digital networks expand, and questions of visibility, surveillance, and environmental justice intensify, the atmosphere becomes a site of inquiry that reflects and refracts contemporary conditions by engaging with the sky as both a material and a metaphor, illuminating the subtle forces that shape embodied experience and reveal the complex systems that surround us.
