The animation is an improved version of the Data Sketch where each cube represents the number of subscribers on each streaming service. Each cube can now be clicked on and result in a reaction where it grows to a size in respect to the number of service’s subscribers. The cubes grow to their largest possible…

To clean up and polish my project, I added the functionality to pause the “jellyfish” and also to have a switch that initially starts the metronomes that controls the motion for all the plates but will then just pause the jellyfish after that. I was able to adjust the colors so that they were differentiated…

For my data project I found a ranking of the different US States and their policies regarding LGBTQ+ rights. Many states have adopted bills in favor of protecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people, while others have been actively passing harmful ones or refusing to acknowledge that there are problems at all. I focused in on…

Vaping is becoming more and more of a trend among teenagers, even bleeding into middle schoolers’ lives. This early exposure to nicotine presents a very high risk of future nicotine addiction. While vaping is seen as the more “healthy” alternative, it is a gateway for children and teenagers into the world of nicotine and nicotine…

Covid 19 is the current world event that everybody is worried about. With the power of coronavirus vaccines, even if we can not completely prevent the spread of covid, we can still drastically decrease the mortality rate of this virus. While the overall vaccination rate of the US is not high(enough), fortunately, the state of…

The animation is based on the sketch I did earlier on streaming services. I assumed that with the rise of more streaming services, and people in quarantine possibly using them as a distraction (based on personal and life-long experience), a comparative analysis of them would be an interesting way to determine which have the most…

ARTIST’S QUESTION: Click the two links and see the project demonstrations before reading. Are you able to infer what is being measured here? How do you feel about it? My first draft for this project only included one meter, the entire thing was essentially three rectangles. The final version includes not six meters instead of…

For my updated Data Art piece I wanted to take my visual to the next level by making it into a spiral staircase that appeared when the user clicks a toggle. I am currently still working on the animation and getting the stairs into the correct positioning, but here is my current work 🙂 I…

My Data Art project centers around demonstrating the recent gentrification of Nashville, TN with the rise in housing prices with the city’s growth. Like many cities in the south, Nashville has a decently sized socio-economic gap in affluence which follows racial demographics due to a long-standing history of racism and generational wealth. This interactive piece…

From our critics I was given a lot of great feedback into how I could improve my work. One thing that changed was the metal lighting of the tubes and cage in order to give it a more solid robotic feel (I like robots). The people now are not represented as flies moving around but…

For my updated data art project, I chose to keep the piece more abstract to communicate the emotion around how peoples grow and divide. In this interaction, the mouse movement is connected to the passage of time. The shapes begin with less divisions and sharing colors, but as time moves forward, they grow larger, change…

So, I finished the Jelly fish fella and added functionality that when you click, the plates start to move. You can click again and he slowly stops. The code is kind of a mess, but it loads up almost functionally on boot up Ignoring the mess, my only questions are, how do you work with…

For my data art project, I chose to compare the inflation rate and the average amount of student loans a person has upon graduation. The red circles represent inflation and the green circles represent student loans. (Between the years of 2003 and 2017, where each new set of circles represents another two years) The point…

My data art project revolves around menstruation. Its been found 1 in 5 girls miss school due to a lack of menstrual products. The lack of being able to afford period products is recognized as “period poverty”. My piece was meant to draw attention to how difficult it is to menstruate when in poverty. Often…

Stress plays a huge role in our mental and physical health, and is a serious issue among so many people. Personally, I feel stressed virtually all the time, and I think it’s a major concern. This composition represents stress levels of American teens. In a survey of 35,000 participants, 82% said their stress levels ranged…

This is a speech by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a famous positive psychologist contributes to understanding of creativity, fulfillment, and happiness. I always ask myself, “what person do I want to become?” Even though money and personal properties is so dominant in our daily life, I have never regarded becoming a rich person as my goal. Mihaly…

For this piece, I stuck to using the statistics of 1 in very 54 people being autistic, and using the medium of animation, I sought to make the feeling of isolation and being a small part of a big world with this drawing. When designing this piece, I was inspired to recolor the whole project…

My initial vision for this concept was to show the loss of a strong Bulgarian identity as time goes on. At first, I wanted to depict this with the projected population decline from 1989-2050 being 39%, and have that amount of triangles disappear. However, upon seeing the vaccination rates in the country being the lowest…

For my data art project, I went with the same theme of my data sketch but with different statistics. For this project, I wanted to visualize the disparity of vaccine distribution between high income “first world” countries and low income “third/second world countries.” I first visualized the first and second/third world as rotating globes. About…

Does anyone have an idea how I can make the objects rotate in an orbit around the cube? Also is there a way I can tie an object to another object?

The video below represents my finished product for the Data Art Sketch with some animation to it. The sketch is supposed to represent the educational inequality between Black, Hispanic, and White people. This is represented with the books on the scale, with the brown and orange books representing Black and Hispanic opportunities, while the right…
