Anchoring the idea around water and our (humans) tendency to not fully understand and appreciate the value of our freshwater (i.e. Do we know that by 2050 there will be a global lack of freshwater?). Our future is intricately linked with the need for water and essentially, that our current Read more…
Flatholm Island described as like entering a completely different world. To physically portray and interpret this through data, we are realising that we might need to think about a package of interlinked data driven experiences. Lots of different types of interactivity (passive and active) to encapsulate the complete Flatholm Island Read more…
We have reached a stage where we need to start to make links between the data and the aesthetic patterns. First attempts below…
Inspired by the 3D printed cuboids… we have started to think about the relationship between the patterns and the data. Finding an old landscape monoprints (F. Carroll, 1996). We are thinking that simple geometric shapes could be used to represent weather data, wildlife data and water tank and solar panel Read more…
Simulating the dynamics’ of the patterns in Processing (a programming language for more creative problem solving). The potential here for narrative patterns is endless.
There will be days with heavy rainfall, days with some and days with no rainfall. As a team we have started to again think about the aesthetic design of this data.
We have got the Arduino and breadboard with an LED screen wired up to it. We are planning on using this to show messages and hopefully data!
Some really great possibilities already starting to emerge.
Lots of data and lots of potential different narratives. How do we layer all this different type of data? What is the best way to arrange the visual to tell the story? What is the aesthetic of the data?
Maybe if we put the lighthouse silhouette at the back instead? That way we don’t have a small panel to look through.
