Burning Browsers
Imagine the weather invading your screen. Fog slowly covers your interface, while strong winds fuel digital wildfires that blur your browser. In Burning Browsers the climate doesn't stop at the edge of the screen, but infiltrates into our devices, our gestures and our timelines.
Burning Browsers is a browser-based artwork that began as an act of resistance for the artist’s Greek partner, and the fires they face each summer as the land burns. This digital intervention, developed in collaboration with artist Ra’fat Ali, overlays a haze of smoke onto the user’s interface whenever a wildfire is detected by NASA somewhere in the world, turning the browser into a space of shared consequence. The work transforms the digital space into an embodied site of climate reckoning.
