The Cloud Project was a modified ice-cream van that presented a series of experiments to make clouds snow ice-cream. Inspired by developments in planetary-scale engineering, it pointed to ambitions surrounding the human desire to control the weather. Developed in collaboration with Zoe Papadopoulou, its purpose was as a tool for public engagement, performance, and spectacle, with the goal to amaze and inspire people to think critically about their relationship to emerging technologies and weather modification. The van was exhibited in Ireland, the UK and Beijing, China. [8]
A curator is a manager or overseer. When working with cultural organizations, a curator is typically a "collections curator" or an "exhibitions curator", and has multifaceted tasks dependent on the particular institution and its mission. In recent years the role of curator has evolved alongside the changing role of museums, and the term "curator" may designate the head of any given division. More recently, new kinds of curators have started to emerge: "community curators", "literary curators", "digital curators" and "biocurators".
