  • A scene from the film The Fever showing a person standing on a dirt path at the edge of a paved road, facing a dense, shadowy forest. The individual is wearing a light-colored short-sleeve shirt, loose-fitting pants, and dark shoes, with a black backpack slung over one shoulder. Tall grass grows on both sides of the path, and thick green foliage fills the background, fading into darkness beyond the road. The lighting is dim, creating an atmosphere of isolation and tension, emphasizing the contrast between the illuminated foreground and the dark forest ahead.

    Experimental Tuesdays Presents: Weather, or Not

    Experimental Tuesdays Presents: Weather, or Not
    UWM Student Union (UN) 2200 East Kenwood Blvd., Milwaukee, WI, United States

    The weather moves around as the clouds imagine their own nephology: wondering what these people see when they see what they see. Fluttering by, attention pulls focus from the movement of the cloud, to the movement of the wind, to the movement of the eye, to the movement of the mind, without ever moving an inch. All the while, we’re watching seeing, or observing looking, or something like that. A program of short works that explore place, space and the weather, in all its sublime, mundane and chaotic glory.
