In 2017, I worked with atmospheric scientist Campbell Watson (IBM Research) to install a small weather station on the roof of Ace Hotel New York. With a great unobstructed view of the Empire State Building, Helen recorded local conditions and took photos of the sky. Helen was named after Helen Hunt, who portrayed Jo in Twister.

In 2018, Watson invited new-media artist Lee Tusman up from Philly for a live event called Live Coding the Weather, in which the duo interpreted atmospheric readings, live data streams and other inputs, sculpting them into a sonic / visual landscape via live coding.
