Weather Patterns is a modular touch, light, and sound installation that evolves via wind, precipitation, and human exploration. Each cluster is an independent sculpture, communicating with each other through bluetooth, changing in response to weather conditions and human interaction, and continually emitting responsive music and light. Together, the sculptures harmonize, evolving independently, engaging multiple senses, and experienced as one complete collaboration.

Owen Lowery is a Pittsburgh based interactive artist with a mission to create situations that foster intrinsic curiosity in children and adults alike. Owen prioritizes Universal Design in his work, hoping that all people—regardless of age, height, ability, or disability—may engage in a meaningful way. His work is often found in less traditional art spaces such as libraries, community centers, hospitals, halfway houses, psychiatric care facilities, and maker spaces. While Owen has created inclusive, interactive, outdoor installations in the past, Weather Patterns is the first to intentionally respond to outdoor elements, making the work most active during weather conditions people often avoid (rain, snow, high winds) and encouraging exploration of art in strange new conditions.
