Screen Walk with Lucia Rebolino

In this Screen Walk, Lucia Rebolino will explore the web as an optical and architectural device to visualise climate models in digital space. Recent studies reveal how AI-based forecasting struggles to predict extreme weather events like hurricanes and heatwaves, due to its reliance on historical patterns and tendency to ignore outliers. These limitations reflect broader challenges in modelling the unpredictable realities of today’s climate crisis. By navigating spatial data and digital tools, Rebolino will examine the atmosphere as both a memory device and a dynamic system influenced by human and technological factors.

In Screen Walks, a series of live-streamed explorations of digital spaces, selected artists and researchers investigate artistic strategies taking place online. The project gives an insight into practices using the screen as a medium. From re-contextualising pictures found on online marketplaces and uncovering data brokers’ invisible circulation of images to analysing in-game photography and the social, political and economic implications of games – Screen Walks examines various approaches, offers a behind-the-scenes look at artists’ work and uncovers new, current and forgotten digital spaces. Screen Walks is a collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery in London and Fotomuseum Winterthur.

The event is free and takes place on Zoom. Details on how to access the talk will be confirmed upon registration. REGISTER HERE.



Biography:
Lucia Rebolino is an architect and computational designer, weaving science and art into counter-cartography, data and web-based aesthetics. She is a researcher at Forensic Architecture in London, GB. Her work on weather and prediction has been featured on e-flux Architecture and she has lectured at Columbia University in New York, USA, the AA in London, GB, and TU Delft, NL, among other cultural and art institutions. Rebolino holds a Master of Architecture from Politecnico di Torino, IT, and a Master of Science in Computational Design Practices from Columbia GSAPP in New York, USA, where she also collaborated with the Center for Spatial Research, exploring how computational methods can mediate between different design practices.
