Point Cloud is an Arduino structure created by James Leng that seeks to produce an artistic approach with regards to our daily interaction with weather data. Point Cloud is based upon the premise that weather is continually surprising us in our attempts to predict and control its various elements. Point Cloud consists of a sculptural form that is composed of thin wire mesh that is controlled asynchronously via an open source microcontroller called Adruino. The sculpture has its speed, smoothness, and direction of rotation adapted to a live feed of weather data. Instead of expressing numerical and concrete values, Point Cloud physically performs the data in which it constantly changes its form by shifting between stability and turbulence and expansion and contraction.
