Budapest Heat -
Sharing the temperature of Budapest
Adam Somlai-Fischer - Aether Architecture;
with Dénes Poór
Curator: Lívia Páldi
Playing upon the misconception of temperature related cultural differences Budapest Heat dislocates the weather from Budapest to the exhibition's current location.
While roaming in Europe, Budapest Heat regularly receives SMS messages to stay updated on the current temperature in Budapest, than tries to apply this temperate to its local environment.
Creating the presence of a remote place beyond vision and sound, Budapest Heat is testing how to extend telecommunication towards tactile connections to the projects ever changing locations.
To translate this result into visual presence, Budapest Heat is painted with temperature sensitive paint, creating a dynamically transforming object.
