As part of Holly Schmidt’s three-year residency at the University of British Columbia (UBC), the artist created Forecast (2019–23). This work is the latest in a series of short poetic texts that use the language of weather reporting to speculate on collective responses to environmental changes. Reflective mirror-finish typography, applied to various architectural glazing around the campus, allows Forecast to interact with its surroundings, exploring the effects of weather patterns and seasonal shifts on the local campus ecology, including its plant, animal, fungal, and human participants. Initially installed on the windows of the AHVA Gallery at UBC and presented as part of the exhibition …we can know more than we can tell… curated by Christine D’Onofrio, the evolving Forecast texts have also appeared on the clerestory windows of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery and the Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS).
