This week, we’re presenting Project 2: Data Sculpture. We’ll share our sculptures alongside the data and systems behind them, then reflect on how our design choices shape the way data is experienced.
Debrief & Discussion
In a group of 2, discuss the following questions:
- What did you discover by translating your data into a physical form?
- How did your choices of material, scale, and arrangement shape what the sculpture communicates?
- What was surprising or challenging about making your data tangible?
- What feels unresolved or still full of potential in your project? If you continued developing it, where might you take it next?

Readings
Watch the following two videos on live coding. We will build on them when we begin the next module.
- Live Coding Visuals with HYDRA by Olivia Jack (about 84 minutes). A workshop on writing live visuals in code, including feeding in live input like the webcam.
- Algorave: algorithmic dance culture by Alex McLean (14 minutes). A talk on live coding as performance, where music and visuals are made with code in real time.
Next Week Announcement
I’ll be traveling to a conference next week. I’ve pre-recorded a lecture video for our class, and a guest lecturer will be joining us in person. I’ll announce who they are in Week 11.
