Nathalie Miebach - Data Artist
Muse Science Magazine for Kids|November/December 2018

“Artists can help us look at data differently and find alternative ways of thinking about it.”

- Catherine Brown
Nathalie Miebach - Data Artist

With these words, Nathalie Miebach explains why she creates art that symbolizes weather data. Her three-dimensional woven sculptures are not only beautiful; they are also scientifically accurate. Miebach’s works of art actually help viewers better understand weather patterns.

Miebach trained as a sculptor at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. A lifelong learner, she has also taken several science courses. Miebach teaches art classes across the country, and her work has appeared in over 100 museum and gallery exhibitions.

She likes to play around with the categories of art and science. By using artistic processes and materials, she makes us rethink the traditional ways scientists present information. At the same time, she pushes the boundaries of what can be considered art.

There’s yet another layer to her work. Miebach translates weather data into musical scores too. She then collaborates with musicians and composers who adapt and perform the music. These compositions provide another way to express emotions surrounding weather.

WHY MAKE SCULPTURES OF WEATHER?
