Art made of storms

Artist Nathalie Miebach takes weather data from massive storms and turns it into complex sculptures that embody the forces of nature and time. These sculptures then become musical scores for a string quartet to play.

Turning hurricane data into woven forms and musical scores reveals the hidden energy of storms. Each bead, reed, and note in these sculptures encodes real temperature, wind, and barometric shifts from events like Hurricane Noel. These creations operate at the intersection of art, science, and sound, challenging viewers to reconsider the boundaries between disciplines. A single piece can function as weather visualization, musical composition, or sculpture, depending on where it is placed.
