Art | Science | Design: aesthetic representation of weather and climate

As the realities of climate change become increasingly urgent, both artists and scientists are grappling with how to make complex environmental data tangible and emotionally compelling. The aesthetic representation of weather and climate is not simply about illustration – it is a way of translating systems and phenomena that are distributed across time and space. How can image, sound, and simulation help us perceive and understand environmental change, and what are the limitations of such representation? This conversation explores a growing field where creative practice meets scientific modelling, asking how aesthetic strategies can contribute to public understanding, environmental narratives, and speculative futures.
