This is the first card, showing a line written by K. Schippers (which is a pseudonym for for Gerard Stigter, born 1936). Schippers is actually quite an interesting figure: he wrote a standard book on dadaism in the Netherlands, entitled 'Holland Dada' (1974). Of all three texts, Schippers' line is least about weather; it's actually more about predicting in general, and voice in particular. Roughly translated, the sentence reads: "Can you predict from her laugh which language she speaks, a French laugh, a Czech one, a Finnish one?" We measured the temperature of these words (in degree Celsius). Little icons of the sun, placed under the words, indicate the intensity of temperature. The card is printed in full colour (CMYK). Because we really dislike halftones, we built up the colours as follows: the blue is 100 percent cyan, while the red is 100 percent magenta and 100 percent yellow.
