Weather Box "is a hand-cranked music box, housed in scavenged cardboard and accompanied by 12 punch card "scores" derived from actual weather data" taken from Central Park, NYC. Each score is graphed by notes based on temperature, wind speed, and precipitation to create a unique song that is represented in each month of the year from 2014.
