No More boring Data!

DATA DESIGN by Alex Henry (click here for entire blog)
I've recently learned that data is not only used to create statistics, but people actually turn it into art. Artists: Jer Thorp, James Paterson, and Mario Klingemann have combined data and design.

CYMATICS by Calli Young

Cymatics is the process of visualizing sound. As frequency in sound increases patterens become more detailed and more complex. Cymatics sounds intresting, that sound can create pictures. In this video they show a cymatic picture of Beethoven's 9th. They also showed a cymatic snow flake compared with one from nature. Evan Grant believes that sound could have helped form the universe. This was so intresting the fact there is stuff that we can not see, but it still puts out data.
