Launching tomorrow
→ Pequeñas acumulaciones de aerosoles by @canekzapata
Pequeñas acumulaciones de aerosoles atmosféricos is a collection of imagined skies where clouds, light, vapor, and impossible weather become a way to think about climate, perception, memory, and care.
↓ Here's everything you need to know:
"The sky is the oldest social network: everyone is invited, everyone sees it differently, and no one owns it."

Now live → Pequeñas acumulaciones de aerosoles atmosféricos
Yesterday we launched the latest collection by @canekzapata and 13 out of 29 pieces found a home in collections, and there are still a few available
Context → The collection is a series of synthetic videos of skies, clouds, rainbows, halos, and other atmospheric phenomena. The title refers to one of the simplest material conditions of the visible sky: small particles suspended in air that alter how light travels through the atmosphere, intensifying sunsets, producing haze, and making the thickness of air perceptible.
5 live auctions are running right now, including:
🚨 #7 → auction ends in 3 hours

The idea of imagining landscapes that don't exist has been part of art for a looooonng long time.
And today I'm writing about it! (yay!) → another short essay by Fellowship's team member @_nataliesosa ☕️
Imagining landscapes that don't necessarily exist has always been part of art, from painting, to photography, and now to generative tools. I love how some of the Fellowship artists have been taking on this tradition, so today I'm connecting dots in the history of art that bring us right here, looking at collections like "Pequeñas acumulaciones de aerosoles atmosféricos" by @canekzapata (which is now live on Daily)
↓ Let's go back in time.

I think Pequeñas acumulaciones de aerosoles atmosféricos sits in the middle of all of this. It uses a generative system to produce images of the sky (clouds, halos, atmospheric light) that are not real. The subject of the collection, aerosols, are atmospheric particles too small to see on their own. Their presence only shows up in how they change the light: the color of a sunset, the haze on a horizon, the strange quality of the sky before a storm. Generating synthetic skies is one way to give those effects a visual form.
This is what connects it to all the projects above. Anadol builds images from accumulated natural data rather than specific locations. Crespo works with species that have almost no visual record. Paglen shows what a machine finds when it looks at a landscape. Hypereikon and Noper generate environments that exist somewhere between the real and the constructed. In each case, the generative tool is being used to produce something about the natural world that observation alone can't give you, and I think this is beautiful. 🥹
