Miquel Hervás Gómez: "In Search of the Pluriverse tunes into different places in and around Europe to learn from local initiatives how design can contribute to cultivating futures that have a future. Identity system translates those places weather conditions into typographic constellations. These likeable yet abstract narratives form the basis of the graphic layer."

Gómez also designed a chart overview connecting real live weather data and atmospheric values input transform into typographic and graphic features output.

"Each of the columns in the In search of the Pluriverse website is responding to a synchronized forecast feed of the five different locations: Istanbul, Berlin, Asturias, Isle of Mull and Casablanca. Depending which temperature, wind force, rain, snow, mist, day or night and cloud situation, the typography will behave differently. Miguelito variable font in use. A personal and shaky variable typeface project; a twisted Arial Narrow modified and hacked version."

He also created the webcover for the project, which can be experienced in our webcover archive.
