A Weathering Station: Autographic Comprehension of a Fog Layer is an ongoing humanities and spatial research project that looks at systems of atmospheric relations as formed through granular local microclimates, which fog clouds signify in certain places of the world. This project is sited at Slide Ranch in Northern California. This project views the fog layer as grounding people in a hyper-local ephemeral experience while lending their cognition to a realm of universal humidity, as air and air moisture reflect climatic fluctuation between the local, regional and planetary scale. This project creates an index of fog-informed logics around its legibility via various media forms- from digital translations to physical traces of trans-coded data, to critical writing. With this, the goal is to make the process of documenting illusory atmospheric data visible via movement and geometric notation. This work is developed alongside ecologies of clouds as they have and will continue to enter cultural and geo-political conversation. Clouds are interception points between forms of media and climate change mitigation strategy.
