Description

“Unequal Weather”is a digital installation that visualizes environmental inequity across Brooklyn neighborhoods in real time. The screen is divided into multiple districts, each displaying simulated local conditions including temperature, air quality, and flood risk. As environmental vulnerability increases, each panel becomes visually unstable—overheating, filling with water, or degrading with static—making the disparities between neighborhoods immediately visible.

The work draws on publicly available data showing that Central Brooklyn can be up to 10–15°F hotter than wealthier areas, that heat is New York City’s deadliest climate hazard, and that over 400,000 residents live in flood-risk zones. By presenting these conditions simultaneously within a single borough, *Unequal Weather* transforms abstract statistics into a shared, spatial experience, highlighting how environmental risks are unevenly distributed across urban communities.
