Wind of Boston: Data Paintings by Refik Anadol Studios

Wind of Boston: Data Paintings is a site-specific installation that turns the invisible patterns of wind in and around Boston into a series of data paintings on a 1.8m x 4m digital canvas. By using a one-year data set collected from Boston Logan Airport, Refik Anadol Studios developed a series of custom software to read, analyze and visualize wind speed, direction, and gust patterns along with time and temperature at 20-second intervals throughout the year.

The resulting artwork is a series of four dynamic “chapters”, each using data as a material to create a visual interpretation of the interaction between the environment and the city. Each chapter brings different aspects of the data sets to life making visible the invisible beauty of wind as a natural phenomenon.
