My final project is an infographic of America with the number of COVID-19 cases in each state. Based on the number of cases in America, and how high the number is, the color of each state varies from a medium pink to a very dark red.

My process and code is very long because I planned out my steps wrong and had the wrong approach. I thought if I separated each state, I would be able to let mouseX and mouseY detect each state. However, because the pngs are the same size, my approach did not work out.

For this week’s blog post, I decided to write about Tina Frank, a graphic designer who focuses mainly on interaction and music within her work. Tina Frank is an Austrian designer, artist and professor at the University of Art and Design. As a designer, she collaborates with musicians to incorporate sound into her work. Within the years, her work has shifted from data visualizations for scientific projects. One work that I will be discussing today is a project called “What if.” This project is an interactive light installation in a building that raises the question of what our world would be like if XYZ was in action. For example, what if the world was inhabited by mosses and ferns? What if feminists ruled the world? The thing I admire the most about this project is how the one lighting installation changed completely the mood of a space. In the video included below, the lighting installation as well as the sound and the music gives the whole project a very surrealistic feeling.

The project I am discussing this week is called “Weather Thingy–Real Time Climate Sound Controller.” Weather Thingy is created by Adrien Kaeser and is a sound controller that uses real time climate related events to control the settings of musical instruments. The device has two main parts–a weather station connected on a tripod microphone and a controller connected to the weather station. This machine has three climate sensors which includes a rain gauge, wind vane, anemometer. The interface of the machine displays the date from the 4 different sensors. This project is super interesting to me because it took a real life issue at hand and translated it into sound. I liked how the music can change based on the data it collects and it was really nice to see how the creator was able to take a musical approach towards this topic.

    fill(c);

}

So for this project, I wanted to use a picture of my friends as it renders out with the name of each person. It starts off as black but the names pop up in different colors in random places and forms the original picture.

For this week, I decided to read a blog post written by my peer Dreami. I was particularly struck by her analysis of the project named “Facebook Flowers” by Stamen Design. This cited project is something I would be also intrigued by because it collects real life data and translates it into a piece of art. I thought it was interesting how Stamen Design chose to represent the activity of a Facebook post through flowers. The parallel of a post getting attention and growing is shown through the flowers getting bigger and flourishing. I don’t necessarily disagree with Dreami’s assessment because I agree with her how it’s cool that motion is used in this data visualization.

Nadieh Bremer’s website:

https://www.visualcinnamon.com/

The person I will be writing about today is named Nadieh Bremer. She is a graduated astronomer, turned data scientist, and now data visualization designer. She creates unique interactive data visualizations for press releases, data driven reports, and data art. After reading her “about” tab on her website, I learned that she is very passionate about what she does. She left the world of academia to pursue data science and once she learned that she really enjoyed visualizing analysis, she started creating personal projects. She describes her work as the following, “My projects include both web-based interactive visualizations, frequently using a storytelling technique to show insights into complex data and static visualizations that typically allow a bit more freedom in their design.” After looking through her work, I noticed that although her work is based on real information and a collection of facts, the visual aesthetic of her visualizations is art itself. It is something that can be seen hanging off a wall as an art piece itself. Her use of color is captivating in all her data visualizations and she uses many different forms to express information. One thing about her work that I want to reflect in mine is how playful it is. There was a project that had graphics of cats and dogs that I really enjoyed. It really opened up the range of how playful data visualization can be and that really inspired me to take risks with my work and include my personality in it.

Reading the project description, I was very intimidated by this week’s project due to all the complicated formulas and many options. I think I was drawn to the butterfly curve because of the shape and the complexity of it. I wanted to make a pattern out of these curves while it would turn based off the mouse’s position. Based on the mouse position, the curves would change and the lines would make different positions.

This week, I decided to look into the visualization of data on the NASDAQ Stock exchange. The different examples all represent a single minute of trade that occurs, the images on the top using a unique color to represent the trader, and the images on the bottom using unique colors to represent each stock. When there is a big grouping of the same color on the top, it means that the same trader is buying and selling stocks. If this occurs on the bottom, it means that a single stock is going through different transactions. The reason why I chose this project is because I thought it was really interesting to see how a very complicated topic like trading can be simplified and visualized with colors. I am in awe of how the creator broke down the system and found out the most efficient way to represent the concept. Not only does the visualization hold value and meaning, simply put, the project is very visually pleasing and engaging. It holds the viewer’s attention on the screen due to the movement and engagement, which is also useful to begin understanding the extent and depth of this project.
