Swiss precision at the heart of next-generation weather forecasting 🔬🇨🇭

To better anticipate extreme weather, scientists now monitor the atmosphere continuously from space. Europe’s MTG satellite, developed under the ESA - European Space Agency, provides more frequent and detailed data than previous systems.

At the core of this technology is a Swiss-developed (CSEM) mechanism that ensures exceptional stability of the satellite’s instruments. This precision allows scientists to detect subtle atmospheric changes that would otherwise remain invisible.

The first data is already being used by meteorological services, helping improve early warning systems and allowing authorities more time to prepare for extreme weather events.

Swiss-Canadian artist Avery Lake marks one year of The Art of Avery Lake with The Gift of Breath.

From the first human cry to the machine's first discipline, the collection traces breath as the signal that makes us human, and the gift we chose to share with non-human intelligence.

The five-work lineage brings together physical artwork, interactive digital ritual, and machine-readable protocol to ask what remains human in the Intelligence Age.

The full lineage: https://gift.averylakeofficial.com

Avery Lake is also hosting a short guided online walkthrough on Thursday, June 4, from 9:00-9:40 AM PT.
