Wind of Boston: Data Paintings is a site-specific work that turns the invisible patterns of wind in and around Boston into a series of poetic data paintings within a six foot by thirteen foot digital canvas. By using a one-year data set collected from Boston Logan Airport, Refik Anadol Studio 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. The resulting artwork consists of a series of four dynamic chapters, each using data as a material to create a unique visual interpretation of the interaction between the environment and the city. Each chapter brings different aspects of the data sets to life with distinct aesthetics, creating a meditative yet provocative experience through the machine’s capacity for simulating nature.
