Exhibition
This collaboration forms part of the Year of the Weather open-weather project, as well as of The Art of Navigation: How to Get Lost in a World of Images, a collective exhibition curated by Jon Uriarte for Foto Colectania, featuring also the work of Sophie Dyer and Sasha Engelmann. The project is focused on establishing a link between atmospheric observation and artistic practice.

The exhibition examines the evolution of the role of photography in digital culture, from web maps to space exploration, and at the same time reflects on the colonial and extractive legacies embedded in the creation of contemporary images. At a time when images determine navigation, in both physical and digital space, the Hangar Satellite Ground Station–which will be sending images to the exhibition in the gallery–offers an intervention on these networks, with the aim of fostering alternative ways of seeing and feeling the world.

Images from the Satellite Ground Station installed at Hangar can be viewed every day at https://open-weather.community/archive/.

Public session
On June 6 2025, the open-weather collective will offer an open session to present their project Year Of Weather at Hangar, Barcelona. At the open session, they will share their DIY methodologies for receiving satellite imagery and reflect on the recent restrictions on access to climate information imposed by the Trump administration.
