Indoor clouds. mind blown

Daaaaamn! Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde decided to defy any sort of weather logic and create clouds indoors...yes, indoor clouds. Smilde, however, must carefully balance the room's humidity and temperature to keep the clouds (which are created using a smoke machine) together for a short period of time; the contrast of the cloud becomes pronounced by the use of backlighting by Smilde.

 "I wanted to make the image of a typical Dutch raincloud inside a space," said Smilde. I love this concept that he has created into a series of clouds in different settings, but what I keep wanting to find out is how artists come up with such original concepts! I just want to get inside an artist's head, dig around a while, and see what they have going on up in their noggin.
