I love fog. When my high school got fog machines, we "tested them" a lot more than we probably should have. So the idea of massive fog sculptures is fascinating. I'm not totally clear on the how, but the cool has certainly been established. The experience of partial sensory deprivation experienced in a heavy fog bank can be really powerful, so this kind of installation art really interests me.
