Open-weather: DIY Satellite Ground Station Workshop
13 March 2023



Open-weather (Sophie Dyer and Sasha Engelmann) led a DIY satellite ground station workshop. Participants generated unique weather images by capturing data from a meteorological satellite pass. Additionally, Open-weather discussed their work as well as practices of earth imaging from feminist perspectives.

Open-weather is a feminist experiment in imaging and imagining the earth and its weather systems using DIY community tools. Co-led by researcher-designer Sophie Dyer and creative geographer Sasha Engelmann, open-weather encompasses a series of how-to guides, critical frameworks and public workshops on the reception of satellite images using free or inexpensive amateur radio technologies. In the tradition of intersectional feminism, open-weather investigates the politics of location and interlocking oppressions that shape our capacities to observe, negotiate, and respond to the climate crisis. In doing so, open-weather challenges dominant representations of earth and environment while complicating ideas of the weather beyond the meteorological.
