WESTMINSTER HAPPENS TO BE OUR FARTHEST-AWAY SCHOOL OF
VIEWERS…. ALL THE WAY DOWN IN GEORGIA…AND, EARLIER THIS YEAR, LIFE
ON GEORGIA’S COAST – ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER SOUTHEASTERN
STATES -- WAS DISRUPTED WHEN HURRICANE MATTHEW CRASHED THROUGH.

SCIENTISTS SAY SEVERE WEATHER, LIKE HURRICANES, HAVE BECOME MORE
FREQUENT DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE – AND ONE ARTIST
AIMS TO DRAW ATTENTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND THESE DANGEROUS
WEATHER PATTERNS USING…DATA.

NOW, WEATHER DATA ISN’T USUALLY MUCH TO LOOK AT – BUT THROUGH HER
UNIQUE PROCESS NATHALIE MIEBACH TRANSFORMS *THIS* INTO *THIS*. UP
NEXT, IDEASTREAM’S DAN POLLETA TALKS TO MIEBACH ABOUT HER VERY
SCIENTIFIC ART.
