在这部天气大战片中,《天气大战》是瑞典艺术家组合Bigert & Bergström创作的艺术形式的纪录片。影片通过两位艺术家制做的一只试图改变龙卷风的装备，并将其带到美国龙卷风频繁的地区，将设备投入使用的一连串行为，将大地艺术，行为艺术，雕塑以及纪录片结合一体，探索人与自然关系中联系最紧密的天气问题。在龙卷风设备投入使用的过程中，两位艺术家以大量带有个人观点和普遍认识的方式深入研究人类对自然干预的努力，在关系人类命运的气候变化的大背景下，将这种努力带入有关自然与人，科技与艺术，气象学与社会，道德伦理和强国政治相结合的种种考量中。 The Weather War is a documentary/art film about man’s attempts to control the weather and harness it for his own purposes. In a blend of land art performance and road movie, artist duo Bigert&Bergström travel to the US tornado belt with their special machine-sculpture, the Tornado Diverter. The goal: To stop a tornado. Along the way, we see historical examples of how the science of meteorology developed in symbiosis with military goals and how these visions evolved into modern ideas of geo-engineering. Controversial ideas with socio-political consequences, spotlighting the big question of who is really entitled to modified weather.
In a world where everything is slowly under human control, there is one thing we still haven't gotten to grips with: the weather. Based on the Russian scientist Vladimir Pudov's theory of tornadoes, the Swedish artist duo Mats Bigert and Lars Bergstrôm have built a 100,000 volt anti-tornado machine, which according to the plan is meant to tame the increasingly disastrous weather, which is an enormous consequence of climate change. With their invention tied to a trailer, they set off towards the American Midwest, where massive storms are raging and hundreds of people have been killed in recent years. An increasing number of natural disasters have made what once was wishful thinking an indispensable necessity. The weather has to be tamed, preferably now! In China, it was possible to regulate the rain clouds over Beijing during the Olympics in 2008, and weather manipulation is well on its way to becoming a hot new field of research / business. The question is just, if it in the long view...
