“Point Cloud (ASU)” is a newly commissioned artwork by Leo Villareal designed for the Arizona State University Art Museum. Using 3D scan technology, Villareal mapped both the inside and outside of the building, creating over 200,000,000 data points. The artist then manipulated the data points with his own custom software to create this public artwork. Visit their website for more information: https://asuartmuseum.asu.edu/
