The current design of this website is determined by an algorithm. It uses live weather and astronomy data from our location in Oxford, UK to create a unique & unrepeatable composition.
Wind
The wind speed is 5mph, so the typography is a little bit distorted.
Time
It's 19:12 – this determines the primary colour and the position of the gradient, and because it's nighttime the colour is dark rather than light. Today's date, the 16th of January 2026 causes the contrast to shift and the gradient is rotated too. The gradient is also affected by sunrise at 08:08 and sunset at 16:21.
UV
The UV index is 0.3 so the colours are not very saturated.
Weather
The condition is Rain so the composition is very blurry, the gradient is darker and less saturated. There's a 75% cloud layer to match the sky.
A short film by Sam Skinner of Fig Studio about greenspaces in and around Florence Park, East Oxford, including Elder Stubbs Allotments, Flo’s Nursery, Boundary Brook Nature Reserve, and Oxford City Farm .
The film was commissioned by Modern Art Oxford as part of their Situated Ecologies programme in the summer of 2024 and shown on a mobile cinema at Florence Park Festival summer 2024.
See the film below and read a blog post about the project HERE.
