We’re happy to report that in the fall, visiting professor Susan Mills assigned SP Weather Station’s data to her Art of The Book course at Pratt Institute as the inspiration for their final semester project. The projects were on display at Pratt’s library; below are a few examples of the array of works. Course participants: Michelle Park, Jennifer Crain, Mina Park, Natalia Panzer, Sarah Silverman, Cristina Willenbury Castillo, Andrea Paradis, Graham Yarrington, Brigit Barret.
Temperatures illustrated in a concertina binding—
A paint dot-matrix, where position, color and size of paint mark are correlated to the data—
A rain measuring system, where turning the cylinder creates a rain-like sound—
An accordion book featuring a weatherman giving his forecast on different days and times—
Looking at one book with different colored glasses reveals different aspects of the data—
Thanks Susan for including SPWS data in the course and for the installation photos!
