In Search of Blue Sky is a temporary public artwork by ArtistWendy Wischer, in collaboration with Atmospheric ScientistJohn Lin and PoetLindsey Webb. This collaboration uses air quality data collected as part of theWasatch Environmental Observatory (WEO) to connect the community and UTA riders to the experience of data collection along with their personal contributions, while inspiring curiosity to dive deeper into changing air quality and ways we might work together to achieve the blue skies we all value.
