Wind Map | Fernanda Viegas and Martin Watterberg

Wind Map is the representation, in real time, of the movements of the winds that flow over the United States. The data are extracted from the National Digital Forecast Database and are updated every hour. The work graphically represents this invisible source of energy that surrounds us, that powered the first explorations of the world and that will continue to be a key element in the future. The visual movement of the air, as well as the work’s emotional meaning, change day by day and inspire feelings that may range from calmness to uneasiness.
