Sophie ‘Soph’ Dyer is a designer, educator and sometime writer based in London.

Their work uses participatory and investigative design to explore anticolonial and feminist approaches to weather, climate, and social justice issues more broadly. For the last five years, Soph co-led open-weather. To access the 2.5K satellite images archived by the collective, see its Public Archive.

I am open to new commissions and collaborations. Make contact.

Another Space Agency is Possible ASAP
For one month during Vienna's Climate Biennale, Another Space Agency is Possible ASAP transformed the former Press-Haus of Kleingartenverein Brunnstube into a communal ground station receiving live transmissions from weather satellites and hosting discussions on weather, space, and collective practices for living with, and responding to, the climate crisis.

Inside the NYPD’s Surveillance Machine
Project co-lead for the multi-award nominated investigation and web app, Inside the NYPD’s Surveillance Machine. When Amnesty International asked the NYPD to publish data on its use of facial recognition technology, it refused. With the help of more than 7K digital volunteers, we used Google Street View's API to map the surveillance cameras that feed the software. The resulting web app is a collaboration with the Dutch design studio, Superposition.

Writing

Reading Weather to Honour and Deepen Climate Literacies (La traducción al español)
We began this essay with the phrase fire weather, however it does not yet exist in Soph’s mother tongue, British English. The first time Soph recalls searching for such a combination of words was in summer 2022, when London, their then home, exceeded 40 degrees Celsius (105 degrees Fahrenheit) for consecutive days. East of London, a garden compost heap likely spontaneously combusted, sparking the Wennington Wildfire that burned 17 suburban homes, a car repair workshop, numerous cars and blackened agricultural fields. In contrast, though she didn’t have a name for it, Sasha has long known fire weather in the chaparral landscape of Southern California. One of her earliest memories is of walking to preschool while a plume of smoke darkened half the sky.

What would a feminist open source investigation look like?
Academic paper. What would an explicitly feminist open source investigation look like? This is not a thought experiment nor an exercise to identify what is feminist and what is not. Rather, it is an action plan by a group of human rights and tech workers seeking to conduct open source investigations differently. Our aim is to apply feminist thought to open source investigations so as to question and to reimagine what, in the last five years, have become dominant and default ways of working.

A probable female, a probable child: Civilian casualties, remote monitoring, and recognition work in the air war against ISIS
Book chapter for (W)archives Archival Imaginaries, War, and Contemporary Art. The international war against the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is one of the first in history to be extensively documented en masse by civilians, militants and state militaries alike, all uploading content to the Internet in near real time. The result is a "polyperspectival" and highly distributed, digital record of the conflict. Working with Airwars public archive, the text moves through reports of civilian harm to map their archival relations, which are also the relations between sensed and sensing bodies – from cold fleshy bodies, to “probable” pixelated bodies and “hot data subjects”. Eds. Daniela Agostinho, Solveig Gade, Nanna Thylstrup and Kristin Veel.

About

I am a designer, researcher, and educator based in London. The projects and ways of working I develop are attempts to prefigure more just and collaborative worlds.

I use participatory and investigatory design to make digital archives and tools, models, installations, works of fiction and workshops. I document here how I work as well as what I work on.

Since 2020, together with geographer Sasha Engelmann, I have co-led the art, tech, and pedagogy collective, open-weather. Open-weather is a feminist experiment in imaging and imagining the earth and its weather systems using open-source software and low cost hardware. We have made artworks, run workshops, and built accessible tools for DIY satellite imagery reception and decoding. Visit open-weather’s Public Archive to access the 2.5K satellite images archived by its patchy yet planetary network of more-than 100 DIY Satellite Ground Stations.

I teach at Design Academy Eindhoven on the Information Design Masters, and am a PhD researcher at the University of Westminster.

Previously, I studied Visual Communication at The Glasgow School of Art, before completing a Masters at the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths. From 2020–2021, I was an Affiliate of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.
