Artist collective Fragmentin questions the impact of digitalisation on everyday life by investigating technology鈥檚 disposition towards control and opacity. Displuvium examines the controversial practice of 鈥渃loud seeding鈥 鈥 an act of controlling the natural environment. Taking the form of a metal base filled with water, visitors can observe simulated rainfall. Simultaneously, screens display a map of historical events related to episodes of rainfall; sometimes of natural origin 鈥 sometimes artificial.
