The installation project “Pixel Avenue” is installed on the underside of a tunnel where it can display the movements across the area. The creator of the project, digitalarti, designed it as a huge pixelated screen with white and blue lights to intimate a “clear sky” and when pedestrians, cars or any other movement occurs, the light bulbs to their positions would change their light colors red to reflect the movements. Its rhythm and forms are directly linked with the everyday life of the area.

I am inspired by this project because it again showed how the dynamic data can be visualized as something artistically dynamic but with the contexts of facts and statistics. It is a very innovative use of data visualization and the application of these visualizations is way more of an artistic approach.
