It is said that he who controls the weather, 
controls the world.

The Global Climacteric is a group show lampooning
the politics and foibles of geomanipulation. In 
spite of the overall satiric tone, the works in 
this exhibition have been manifested through a 
process of rigorous investigation and data acc-
umulation. The exhibition's script replaces 
nuclear threat with climate change. Ecopolitics
and geoannihilation sub in for The Cold War when 
world leaders convened discussing solutions to 
correct past human mistakes while simultaneously
posturing to take drastic measures to ensure a 
desired, albeit apocalyptic, future. The New Mili-
taryIndustrial Complex, for ecogeopoliticomanipu-
lation, catalyses warfare between opposing govern-
ments as well as with nature itself by instigating 
unnatural earthquakes, storms, and other eco-
disasters.
