In the vein of Charles Gaines’s and Tomàs Saraceno’s work, artists are harvesting data that describes the universe, that records the weather, and that monitors environmental conditions. The works in this grouping help us grasp the enormity of the universe and the ever-changing environmental conditions in the atmosphere, to see the shifting power of storms, the cleanliness of water, and the rising high water mark in coastal cities, for example. Phenomena too enormous to wrap our minds around become visible in elegant installations, objects, and works on paper.
