Weather forecast
– analogy for exceptions for the future
– storm glass is used as the device for forecasting the future: consumer product, ancient technique, doubts
A weather forecast system is built, using realtime information from a storm glass; where the result (the forecast) is presented in a series clips related to the forecast, run in random order for 1 minute. The forecast becomes a short narrative video about tomorrow, and each forecast generates a different story.
There is only Sunday (Gloomy Sunday)
- Gloomy Sunday – Hungarian suicide song, depression, melancholy, suffering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloomy_Sunday
- The movie – helplessness, sufferings
The system forecasts weather of Sundays only, inspired by the song Gloomy Sunday, which is also known as the Hungarian Suicide Song. It is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress and published in 1933. The original lyrics were titled Vége a világnak (The world is ending) and were about despair caused by war, ending in a quiet prayer about people’s sins.
