Peripheries explores advancements in technological aids that connect the present and the foreseeable future. The video opens with 41 significant projected storms predicted to affect Ireland between the years 2040 - 2060, and continues on to profile the geographical schedule of events associated with 6 separate forecasted storms. The storm projections in the artwork are based on the output of an ensemble of high-resolution climate models. These models simulate changes in the atmosphere and oceans, as greenhouse gases - such as CO2 - increase and are expressed in terms of Global Positioning System datasets. The work inquires into contemporary concerns about long-term futures and alludes to the ancient world’s arbiter of truth, the Oracle.
