The Condition operates as a living weather-organism and feedback apparatus that translates environmental and informational signals such as headlines, temperature, and air quality into light and language. It functions as a sensorium through which the institutional body of Penalty perceives its own climate.
Conceived as an experiment in self-referential systems, poetic computation, and generative material processes, The Condition examines how data becomes atmosphere, how information constructs image, meaning, and abstraction, and how an organisation learns to breathe, feel, and reflect within the digital.
