This is pretty cool!! Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde creates real cloud installations by controlling the space’s atmospheric pressure/humidity..

Prototype!
Super simple trial run. Trying to get the technique/process figured out. Learning how to keep the colors clean and consistent (NOT EASY). Once I perfect the method I’ll graduate to larger and more complex pieces (see previous post with ambitious mockups). I tend to want to rush ahead to the “fun part,” but with these I know it’s really important that I take my time and learn how to do it correctly. Wax on, wax off!
trondheim asked: Hi Laura! I saw your short animated "peak conditions". Just wanted to say that I really liked it! I love these kind of animations. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Håkan, Sweden!
Hi, and thank you so much for your message! It’s morning here; I’m in my studio working on a new project and it made me so happy to see what you wrote! I will certainly be doing more animating in the future. I’ve never been to Sweden but I hope to visit one day! Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend! :)
Secret cinema found beneath Paris
In September 2004, French police discovered a hidden chamber in the catacombs under Paris. It contained a full-sized movie screen, projection equipment, a bar, a pressure cooker for making couscous, a professionally installed electricity system, and at least three phone lines. Movies ranged from 1950s noir classics to recent thrillers.
When the police returned three days later, the phone and power lines had been cut and there was a note on the floor: “Do not try to find us.”
