Educator Led Tour: Atmospheric Memory and the weather

In a merger of science and art, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer has developed a provocative exhibition at Powerhouse Ultimo, 11 August – 5 November 2023. Influenced by the work of Charles Babbage, a 19th-century scientist who famously built the first automatic computer in the 1830s, Babbage was fascinated by the idea that every breath and every sound impacts the atmosphere. He mused that given the right computing power, it may be possible to recreate memories from the past.
