Ned Kahn is an environmental artist and sculptor, famous in particular for museum exhibits he built for the Exploratorium in San Francisco. His works usually involve capturing an invisible aspect of nature and making it visible; examples include building facades that move in waves in response to wind; indoor tornados and vortices made of fog, steam, or fire; a transparent sphere containing water and sand which, when spun, erodes a beach-like ripple pattern into the sand surface. Kahn won a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" fellowship in 2003, and the National Design Award for environmental design in 2005.

Kahn lives and works in California.
