The Weather Cafe

The Weather Cafe

THE WEATHER CAFÉ is an immersive café installation that responds to the changing weather of the city. Inside, the shifting environment evolves as the wind blows, the rain falls and a thick cloud rolls underneath in an ever-changing orchestration of sound and imagery.
Created by David Shearing, THE WEATHER CAFÉ presents the voices of over 100 people living and connected to Leeds. The installation acts as a barometer to reflect the emotional climate of the city. Made in collaboration with composer James Bulley and creative technologist Daniel Jones.
A visit in the The Weather cafe was amazing, one main element was the use of the sound as it included by recordings of the voices of 100 different Leeds locals, taken from the conversation that David himself has undertaken, as he's explored what people think and how they feel about Leeds. 
The event was only running for couple of days, but it was very amazing and I hope the event will take place again in Leeds.
