a) Making a Photo-montage.
b) Interpreting data and then converting it into image.
This is the Original photo-montage made of many of the pictures taken during a picnic in a place called Mount Edgecombe. These are fairly sequential and work their way out as the day wore on in a rough time scale relative to the picnic. There was a lot of raw data to interpret here but I just broke it down into two categories:
1) Light/Shade.
You can see light represented very simply with off-white colour stars and shade represented very simply with dark indigo stars.
2) Nature Sounds / Man-made Sounds.
The red and orange spikes represent man made sounds the more orange the spike means the more likely it is to be things such as talking or breathing and the more red means the more likely the noise is to be of the objects making noise like crisp packets rustling or mobile phones ringing etc.
The green leaves represent the natural or nature noises such as the wind or birdsong.
Final Image:
The entire thing when layered together looks like its own mini country. Both the data-interpretation and the photo-montage make for an interesting and busy final image.
So that is how to make Data out of a meal :p
Edit: I found the initial concept work for this project so I thought I would post it for brevity.
