James LENG: Point Cloud is an attempt to reimagine our daily interaction with weather data. Weather has always had a unique place in our lives, because it has a multiplicity that encompasses both the concrete and the indeterminate. It is the intangible context within which we build our lives and our cities, but it is also the physical element against which we create protective shelter.

Johannes TSOPANIDES / SHAPES iN PLAY: InfObjects is a design concept with a new approach to combine influences from product design, generative processes and information visualisation in order to make complex data tangible.
