Hospitalfield Summer Festival
Long-term collaborator, artist and writer Alison Scott, represented open-weather and the Year of Weather project at Hospitalfield‘s Summer Festival. Scott created an installation that included educational resources and activities alongside satellite images and audio from the Hospitalfield Automatic Ground Station.
Since 2024, Scott has been working with Hospitalfield, an arts centre in Arbroath, Scotland, to host an open-weather Automatic Ground Station. Scott installed the v-dipole radio antenna atop one of the House’s towers. The ground station was active from December 2024 until August 2025 and, after Svalbard, was the second northernmost in the network.
During the Summer Festival, Scott also used their handheld turnstile to capture images from satellite NOAA-19.
