For the first time, ERRATIC WEATHER is presented in an immersive full-dome environment. Beneath a 360° projection dome, audiences are completely surrounded by sound and visuals, transforming MAOTIK and Maarten Vos' acclaimed audiovisual performance into an entirely new experience.
Inspired by the growing impact of climate change, ERRATIC WEATHER translates historical hurricane data into a living audiovisual landscape that unfolds in real time.
Before each performance, the system selects a historical hurricane from a database. Scientific data—including geolocation, atmospheric pressure, temperature and wind speed—forms the foundation for a unique composition of sound and visuals. No two performances are ever the same. Each show follows the life cycle of a different storm, allowing audiences to experience the beauty, power and unpredictability of nature through an ever-changing generative artwork.
During the performance, swirling hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones evolve across the dome while music and imagery respond continuously to the underlying data. The result is a poetic interpretation of our changing climate—both mesmerizing and thought-provoking.
The immersive dome transforms the performance into something entirely new. Instead of watching the storm unfold on a screen, audiences find themselves inside it. The 360° environment amplifies the scale, movement and emotion of the work, creating an experience that can only exist within a dome.
MAOTIK
Mathieu Le Sourd, better known as MAOTIK, is a French digital artist whose work explores the intersection of art, science and technology. Using custom-built software, he creates generative environments, interactive installations and audiovisual performances that transform data into fluid, evolving visual worlds.
Inspired by the complexity and randomness of natural systems, MAOTIK develops immersive experiences in which algorithms, sound and visual art merge seamlessly. His work has been presented internationally at leading festivals, museums and cultural institutions, including MUTEK, Sónar, Art Basel, Frieze London, ARS Electronica, Signal Festival Prague, Miraikan Science Museum Tokyo, La Biennale di Venezia, Funkhaus Berlin and Philharmonie de Paris.
Maarten Vos
Dutch composer, cellist and producer Maarten Vos, based in Berlin, is known for blending contemporary classical music with ambient and electronic sound worlds. His work combines the expressive qualities of the cello with modular synthesizers and electronic instruments, creating richly textured compositions that move effortlessly between acoustic and electronic music.
Vos has performed at renowned festivals including Le Guess Who?, MUTEK, Sónar, Rewire, Amsterdam Dance Event and Lowlands, and has been artist-in-residence at Gaudeamus, MONOM/Funkhaus Berlin and Théâtre de Chaillot in Paris.
Together, MAOTIK and Maarten Vos create an experience where science becomes art, data becomes music and the forces of nature unfold as an unforgettable immersive journey. Presented in a full dome for the very first time, ERRATIC WEATHER offers audiences a completely new way to experience this groundbreaking work.
