.inf is an abstract and constantly changing visualization of data, taken in real-time from current weather situations on earth.
Incoming data like humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, wind direction and cloudiness at a special location causes change of the position, speed, lighting and colouring of two million virtual points, floating inside a three dimensional space.
Atmospheric noise, which is taken through online radio transmission is used for the sound synthesis. This data, taken in real-time, switches randomly between different places and their existing weather situations on earth.
This causes unpredictable images.
Every frame of the resulting image and representation of the sound is unique and not reproducible.
High differences in the values, by switching randomly between different current weather situations of specific locations can trigger interrupting events, phases and flickering effects in the image and sound.
The endless generative visual and sound patterns in which one can easily lose themself, leaves the viewers and listeners with a different perception of time and a third person view.
