Klíma is a generative data artwork exploring meteorological dynamics across Europe. It is a project of József Jároli, a creative AI tinkerer from Hungary. It translates continuous hourly and daily observation records into a living tapestry of botanical climate rosettes, visualizing temperature variations and precipitation events across spatial and temporal dimensions.
Each tile on the map displays a 12×12 matrix of 144 monthly rosettes (12 years on the vertical axis × 12 months, Jan–Dec, on the horizontal axis). Below is a zoomed-in detail of one single monthly rosette, where radial petals represent individual days and their diurnal (hourly) temperature variations:
The universal 11.19°C baseline is the grand average temperature calculated in the initial data pass across all 384 European observation stations, spanning every month and observation hour in the entire dataset.
Applying this single continental baseline uniformly across every rosette creates an objective, unified datum: a warm red petal in Oslo signifies the exact same absolute temperature threshold (>11.19°C) as a red petal in Rome or Istanbul, enabling true cross-regional and cross-temporal comparison.
Each tile is anchored to an official meteorological observatory at its real European coordinates.
Adjacent tiles in the matrix are true physical neighbors (e.g. Zagreb is surrounded by Šibenik, Graz, and Szekszárd).
