Great find...
A microcosm, personal study of the experience I know ideating on
high-dimensional visualization of
pressure/temperature/humidity/particulate density spaces and their
evolution by watching clouds form/disperse.
@7:30 in the video, his exhibit is reminiscent of "old faithful"...
how many of us (or our parents taking us there) were too impatient to
wait for the next hourly geyser and only have photographs or videos to
refer to, no personal memory of such a transient/ephemeral event?

- Smilde is a Dutch artist who has been creating artworks involving
real clouds formed indoors since 2010. - The clouds are created using
a fog machine and water vapor. He builds a "wall" of vapor then
introduces smoke which interacts with the vapor to briefly form cloud
shapes.
- The clouds only last for a few seconds before dispersing. His art
aims to capture transience.
- He photographs the clouds, often with professional photographers,
striving for technically perfect images.
- The photos typically show the clouds set against the backgrounds of
rooms or buildings, like a church nave where he was recently invited
to work.
- Smilde sees ambiguity and duality in the works - the clouds can
seem threatening or divine, building up then quickly falling apart.
- His cloud photos have spread widely online since 2012 when Time
Magazine highlighted them. They have universal appeal.
- He has staged fashion shoots with designers using the clouds. His
works sell for thousands of euros.
