Nathalie Miebach

Artist, Change Agent, Designer, Educator/Teacher

Nathalie Miebach translates scientific data related to ecology, climate change and meteorology into three-dimensional structures. Her main method of translation is principally that of basket weaving, which functions as a simple grid through which to interpret data in three-dimensional space. A fundamental player in the translation process is PLAY, and how its visual manifestations can be used to question and expand the traditional boundaries through which scientific information has been visually translated and understood. Nathalie Miebach holds a Master of Art Education and Master of Fine Arts from Massachusetts College of Art, MA. She is the recipient of numerous awards and residencies and has been shown in the US and Europe. Her work bridges over to many other disciplines such as science, data visualization and technology, which has been written about in several publications including Art In America, Art News, Sculpture Magazine, Wired and several international design magazines.

I am passionate about using data to create visual and audio experiences that make people think more deeply about climate change and extreme weather events. I create 3D woven sculptures and installations based on weather data. I also build musical scores based on weather data which are used in cross-disciplinary collaborations with music composers and musicians all over the world.
