Political Campaigns filters the latest Twitter, Instagram and YouTube messages that mention the terms "Biden" or "Trump" and weaves them into a wild television show. And it develops an election forecast of which candidate currently has more nominations. Just looking at the Political Campaigns statistic now: during the last 6 hours Trump has more than twice as many nominations. 68% to 32%.

The exhibition “Stormy Weather” at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich in Vienna is now open until the 21st of November 2020. Then will travel to Paris at Centre culturel suisse, 06.12.2020 - 24.01.2021.
The exhibition showcases works that survey the field between seemingly ephemeral infrastructures (data clouds) and their concrete manifestations in the real world. How do artists interact with the non-human counterpart, the cloud? Do metaphors or the realities of the cloud become affective carriers themselves in their artistic reception?

The metaphor and the reality of the 'cloud' are omnipresent in our daily lives. It is not only the place where data are stored but also-by cloud computing, cloud gaming, or cloud streaming-the place where the central functions of computational power and auto-learning artificial intelligence have migrated to. The cloud is not a storage folder-it is our super brain. The exhibition project "Stormy Weather" questions the relationship between the human-made clouds of our present to humans, climate and politics.
