Are the clouds above our heads natural or artificial? Cloudmakers is a looped short video. An AI-generated voice tells a story about the possibilities of controlling the weather, weaving elements of fiction into the science of contemporary meteorological research. It talks about art, imagination, and creative processes, but also about the figure of Wilhelm Reich – a scientist and visionary who in the first half of the 20th century claimed that he could control atmospheric phenomena. The video combines original recordings with material generated by artificial intelligence. In this way, the artist shows how technological development blurs the line between reality and fiction. She also asks about the ethical aspect of interfering with nature and the role mankind plays in shaping the environment.
