About:
Forecast is a computer-generated video featuring a camera panning through photographs of a blue sky with clouds over Amsterdam. A slow voice guides the viewer through specific segments of Bertrand Russell’s ABC of Relativity, explaining the distinctions between actuality and perception, and addressing relativity theory and concepts of space-time. Midway, the spoken text transitions into music, leading the viewer into a more associative, immersive experience.
