A Weathervane Wall Turns Wind Patterns Into Data Art
Windswept is an art installation at San Francisco’s Randall Museum that celebrates the intricacies of wind interacting with architecture. To create the effect, designer Charles Sowers deployed 612 freely-rotating anodized aluminum arrows on a 20’x35’ grid, each serving as a “discrete data point” of extremely local airflow to form “a kind of large sensor array.” (Fast Company)
