Through December 31st a kinetic outdoor sculpture will be lighting up the World Financial Center Plaza. The multi-media piece, titled Weather Beacon and created by Erik Guzman, essentially transforms weather—throughout all four seasons—into art. It was described to us as an "enormous sculpture, which translates weather data into gracefully moving gears and flashing lights."

But how? This weather data is received via radio waves, which then get turned into visual representations of spring breezes, winter winds, and we're guessing that lovely NYC summer humidity (warm garbage smell not included). Check out some video of the piece, which runs 24 hours/day, in action.
