Eight years of Wellington's weather data has been turned into an art simulation.
Delainy Jamahl's exhibition, Rivers of Wind, is the first body of work to be shown at new immersive digital art gallery The Grid Art Space in Te Aro.
The gallery was founded by Jamahl and Shannon Brosnahan Inglis and opened last Friday.
Rivers of Wind turns eight years of weather data from Wellington Airport's weather station into an artistic simulation.
The piece runs for 48 minutes, with a day's worth of data shown every second.
Jamahl said the piece had moments of stillness, "moments of of complete chaos", and everything in between.
"That's the beauty of it because it's recorded nature and you can't create that randomness that you can with computers."
Although an artistic simulation, Jamahl said it was possible to see the data from major weather events within the piece.
Although the simulation contained a range of data, wind played a strong role in the piece.
He hoped the work would give people a different perspective on Wellington's wind.
"Living in Wellington, everyone has their own relationship with the weather here. For me personally, I really love it, I've come to love it and I can often miss it when I leave.
"So I really wanted to share a bit of that and hopefully offer a different perspective to the weather through this work."
