MOVING IMAGE STUDIO I

Final Project: Data Visualization

Filed under: assignments

For your final project, you are to create a data visualization based on your own set of data. The goal is to create a visual space that abstracts a set of information.

You can use any set of data you choose: what you have for breakfast each day, the temperature, a daily rating of your mood, etc. If you would like to use personal data, you should probably start building it now. If you would like to tap into the internet, there is an XML parsing library.

You are not making a pie chart, bar graph, spreadsheet, etc! You should create an interesting aesthetic metaphor to express your data in.

Inspiration:

1. information aesthetics
2. data is nature
3. rhizome
4. 175 data visualizations

Due May 8th.
