Sorting is a visualization and sonification project created by Ren Yuan. It is based on 31 algorithms and made using Processing. Basically it allows the viewer to see how the data is sorted and made audible by seven sorting algorithms. They are insertion sort, shell sort, bubble sort, quick sort, selection sort, heap sort and merge sort. This project is very interesting and visually compelling. I love how Ren uses pattern and algorithm to make sorting a list of data on a black and white screen to a piece of digital art that really catches people’s attention. I might not know this project’s performance criteria. But as an art piece, it is successful.
