How to use data in your creative process
Data is everywhere, it's in the messages we send, the sounds we hear, the images in our museums, and even within our own bodies. So let's sample it as a rich source material for our creative projects.
In this How To session, we'll look at how we can use different types of data as a creative starting point and use it to sample colour & form for illustration projects and create animated expressive data visualisations.
We'll start from some hello world "creative coding" with Processing, move quickly through sampling colour & shape data to create illustrations, for print web & motion, and then onto gathering and visualising data from Arduino sensors.
This How To session is aimed at developers who want to explore code as a creative tool, and designers who want to use the diversity of data to expand their creative output.
