Cloud
2001, web project and installation
This work consists of a 3D simulation of a Cloud, that is projected high up in a circular bar at Storehouse in Dublin. Connected to the internet, a viewer can interact with the work on the web. Visitors to the site can control the orientation of the Cloud, the direction and speed of the Cloud’s turning is dependant on each individual viewer. A web camera is situated outside the building, to show online viewers the direct interaction of them with the work. The turning Cloud is also visible from many places on the streets of Dublin
"Grace Weir's work frequently uses structures and strategies of circularity (as opposed to linearity) and, considered within the development of the history of perspective, examines propositions and ideas that investigate our understanding of time and space. Her installations in particular explore the idea of 'the middle' or the 'in-between' as a site of the real - a time of actualisation when something is occurring. She is interested in the connection between the way we depict space and the way we behave in it."
