"newseason" net art by Kristy O'Leary

newseason is Kristy O'Leary's latest art piece, located on the web.

The piece is an online environment, based on deconstructed topographic maps, where one can listen to elders from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia reveal their memories of weather and their observations of climate change.

The site itself is a simple, one page affair. Hover your mouse over different parts of the map to activate the voices.
