A Forecast (2019)

Performative Presentation: Launch of Beams Research project @ Johannesburg Observatory

This performative presentation consisted of a collective sensory walk with DIY particle visualizers at the Johannesburg Observatory, and a public discussion about our collaborative project and continuing work together. From the top of the ridge we observed the turning of the earth as the sun set. 

A Forecast served as a platform to launch Beams, a year-long research project by Nina Barnett (ZA) and Jeremy Bolen (USA), beginning with a residency at POOL for the month of July and culminating in an exhibition in May 2020 that will explore a facet of Johannesburg’s past and future time, the impact of in/visibility, and the edges of knowledge.
