Point Cloud: A beautiful wire-mesh cloud that tells the weather

Artist James Leng wanted to know about the weather. In response, he created this magnificent interpretation of a cloud, designed to mimic every alluring gesture and shifting nuance of one of nature’s most beautiful formations. 

According to Leng:

Cloud performs the data, dynamically shifting between stability and turbulence, expansion and contraction. It re-introduces weather conditions as a permanently variable state, and creates a visceral experience in our interactions with weather.
