Chapter 9. The Art of Visualizing Data
For three months between October and December 2010, Erik Guzman’s Weather Beacon lit up the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center in New York City (p. 277 and Insert).
Guzman refers to Weather Beacon as an “oracle for the digital age.” This complex work of kinetic art merges wireless connectivity, industrial engineering, movement and light. Installing it was a work of work unto itself.
