ITP Weather Band: Making Music with Weather Data
Yeseul Song, Atchareeya Jattuporn

Come learn about the ITP Weather Band! We're an experimental band creating music, interactive objects, and visuals with weather data collected from a DIY weather station. We built a DIY weather station system and created experimental instruments that turn the environmental data into music and visuals. This community art project explores new ways of delivering information and stories about our immediate environment through the auditory and visual sense. The band consists of faculty, graduate students, and alums at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (NYU ITP).
