Link to final sketch and artist statement

I asked this question on the Processing journal (image below) The reply was a link to the same question being answered. (image below) The index.html link in my sketch folder works perfectly in Mozilla Firefox (image below) but not in Safari or Chrome. The solution is...

Changes to Interactivity and Layout of data

This was my 3rd design/ layout of the data. The lines were going past the images, this made the data blend into the background and not stand out. The data also wasn’t interpreted in a clear way because of this. This is my 4th design, by making the data stop...

Project so far

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an api for the music data I wanted, therefore I had to manually get the data from the billboard website. I got over a years worth of data. To make the line graph using the data, I used this formula y = (chart value * 10) x =...

Improvements to idea

I looked back on my idea and I realised that it was boring. I wasn’t pushing myself creatively. So here are the changes I’ve made. Presenting more data rather than one month’s worth. I intend to get a year or two worth of data as this will show the change over time a...

Brain Storming and Idea Development

I chose to do Brief 3 because I preferred it over the other two briefs and I was more interested in creating digital art than making a game. I wanted to use data from a current event or something that I was interested in. Idea 1: Police brutality in the USA or the...
