Description
Atmospheric Things explores how our understanding of the atmosphere is shaped by our experiences with everyday objects, in this case, the humble balloon. Since its invention, the balloon has captivated audiences, inspired artistic and technological innovation, and revealed the complex relationships between the elements and our surroundings. By examining the balloon's unique properties, Derek P. McCormack reveals how our practices and technologies of envelopment allow us to perceive, create, and modify the atmosphere.
