Fog Bridge 2013, Artist: Fujiko Nakaya, A Japanese Artist, Exploratorium, Pier 15, San Francisco, California

In an interview on April 27, 2014 with Irene Shum Allen, Nakaya explains that she doesn't directly create images with her fog sculptures, instead the fog is a kind of transducer that reacts to the local meteorological conditions. She comments that the landscape can appear to be largely static until fog is introduced. With the introduction of fog, nature's stories and information are made more accessible to the observer.[from wikipedia]
