anecdata (an.ik.DAY.tuh; an.ik.DAT.uh)
n. Anecdotal evidence used as data in an attempt to prove a hypothesis or make a forecast.

The Bureau of Atmospheric Anecdata is an ongoing collaborative and interactive environmental project created by artists Christine Baeumler and Beth Grossman.

 BAA is installed as a portable "Weather Station" in international town squares and gardens. The Bureau conducts interviews with residents about their observations and memories of winters past. Through these anecdotes, the Bureau documents how peoples' experience of the climate has changed within their lifetime. Each project culminates in an outdoor evening presentation of the edited stories accompanied by the flickering images of snow projected into the trees.
