Renowned for his use of light and video to create impactful work, James Clar’s Cloud Seed is an interactive installation juxtaposing the narrative and conceptual potential of technology. This installation will immerse viewers in a large-scale real time simulation of raindrops and fog, reflecting the control human beings have over the environment.
Having lived in Dubai for over seven years, Clar says he took inspiration for the Julius Baer Commission from the groundbreaking cloud seeding mechanism that’s used to improve water security and biodiversity in the UAE.
“The commission takes live video of visitors at the fair and immerses them within a video simulation of raindrops and fog,” he says.
He uses specially developed software to create a slowly morphing cinematic scene intended to mimic an environment condition.
