Forecast is a computer-generated video featuring a camera panning through photographs of a blue sky with clouds over Amsterdam. A slow voice guides the viewer through selected passages from Bertrand Russell’s A.B.C. of Relativity, explaining distinctions between actuality and perception and addressing relativity theory and concepts of space-time. Midway through the work, the spoken text transitions into music, leading the viewer into a more associative and hypnotic experience.
