Climate Control
A wind and solar powered drawing machine, open to the elements for 4 months over southern summer 2013-14, drawing the weather coming into Melbourne Australia. A solar panel powers the motor turning the paper drum, turning only when the sun is shining on it; the wind motivates the drawing mechanism.
