Title: Fake fog?
Post by: Eric Myrvaagnes on October 20, 2018, 09:21:02 pm

Artist Fujiko Nakaya has an interesting set of installations at various places around Boston in which water squirted into cold air produces artifical fog that interacts with the surroundings. Yesterday my wife and I took in one such event at the Arnold Arboretum, where fog events are scheduled every half hour during the day, through the end of October.

Here are a few of my snaps from the noon event. The last two show the spray tubes strung between two tree at the top of Hunnewell Hill at noon on a bright, sunny day.

One more, and how it was done. Note the many tiny nozzles on each of the four hoses/pipes strung between the trees.

Very impressive density.

Have a Nice Day.

Nice, Erik. Looks like a rich field for exploring.

Nice images; they reminded me of our visit to Bordaeaux last month. On the promenade next to the Garonne river and in front of the Place de la Bourse is the Miroir d'eau aka Miroir des Quais.  It is claimed to be the world's largest reflecting pool, covering 3,450 sq metres (37,100sq ft), and the water is 2cm (3/4") deep.  It brings a smile to everyone's face as they paddle around.  In summer fog rises to about chest height every 15 minutes, which causes more smiles.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

I would very much enjoy experiencing that installation.

Pretty neat. Reminds me of a movie set.
