CLOUD

cloud is an interactive story about a cloud.

A creative exploration of the process of data analysis, cloud offers fragments of daily life - texts, phone recordings, reddit threads - as pieces of data. You’re invited to take on the role of analyser - to consider them, find insights and foresights and tell us the story you find within.

cloud considers both how we find narratives in and how we place narratives onto data sets, and, with a focus on the mundane, how the fragments of our day-to-day - emails, phone calls, scribbled notes - become the narratives of our lives and work.

cloud was developed as part of a Creative Informatics funded Creative Horizon project: 'There be dragons' which investigated some of the intersections between data and creative practice.

cloud was developed in collaboration with

Sound Artist, Michael-Jon Mizra

The word 'cloud' in white projected on on the wall. Paragraphs of text on the right describe the project.

A white wall with bull dog clips covering it. A small sign in the centre reads 'This is the story of the cloud, please add to it.' Various pieces of paper surround this, all pinned on the wall.

A desktop computer shows the main cloud display. The computer rests on a white table with black patterns.
