Designer Joonas Virtanen's Current Rothko website translates weather conditions into matching Rothko paintings. Enter any location, and an algorithm selects from 89 tagged works based on color, brightness, temperature, and mood. The result is a poetic interplay between atmospheric data and abstract expressionism.

This project recontextualizes Rothko's meditative canvases, inviting users to experience them through a contemporary lens. While limited by copyright to low-res previews, the concept sparks a fresh appreciation for how color can mirror our environment. A thoughtful fusion of art, design, and weather data.
