MDDN 242 Proj 4: Concept Shanshan Zhou 1. Info: New Zealand +People + Connections Number of Marriage Divorce Children involved Visualization: Random image by keywords search (love, relationship, couple, marriage, family, etc) Marriage: adding Divorce: subtraction, scratching (see demo image on the following page) The idea: This is a project based on data and visualization being relevant to each other. And this relevance is a social cultural one, instead of just statistically relevant. Given the specific topic of marriage and divorce, and children involved, this visualization can be communicating a social cultural interpretation associated with divorce: the destruction of a union.

MDDN  242    Proj  4:  Concept  Shanshan  Zhou  

           1.      

Info:  New  Zealand  +People  +  Connections    

Number  of  Marriage  Divorce  

Children  involved      Visualization:  

Random  image  by  key-­‐words  search  (love,  relationship,  couple,  marriage,  family,  etc)  

Marriage:  adding  Divorce:  subtraction,  scratching     (see  demo  image  on  the  following  page)    

 The  idea:  

This  is  a  project  based  on  data  and  visualization  being  relevant  to  each  other.  And  this  relevance  is  a  social  cultural  one,  instead  of  just  statistically  relevant.  Given  the  specific  topic  of  marriage  and  divorce,  and  children  involved,  this  visualization  can  be  communicating  a  social  cultural  interpretation  associated  with  divorce:  the  destruction  of  a  union.

Other  exploration  on  representation  Beyond  visual:  to  feel  it  

Number  of  string  to  represent  the  number  of  marriage      

 Marriage  –hanging  by  strings—together,  joining     Divorce—breaking  the  strings—separate  

     So  you  can  feel  the  strength  of  joining  And  feel  it  when  it’s  breaking  apart

             2.              The  idea:     Google  Map  itself  is  a  very  rich  data  mine.  It  is  a  good  representation  of  the  infinite  complexity  of  nature.  I  don’t  want  to  use  the  data  defined  by  human—i.e.  names  of  cities  or  countries,  etc.  Instead  I  will  only  use  the  visual  information  from  the  image,  and  turn  it  into  something  else.      Info:         Google  Map  

pixels  color  (RGB),  contrast,  brightness     landscape  

   Go  beyond  visual:       audio  representation  of  the  visual  data       Vibration  of  land?  

Roughness?           Warmth—brightness?

 3.    The  idea:    

I  want  to  create  a  visual  project  that  is  generative  with  the  contribution  of  some  factors  that  have  no  direct  connection  with  the  visual  content,  but  contain  complex  and  interesting  variations.      The  solution  comes  to  my  mind  is  a  series  of  real  data  about  an  organism  that  varies.      Despite  that  data  is  always  collected  to  be  useful,  and  their  visualization  is  supposed  to  be  readable—the  usefulness  and  readability  is  not  important  for  my  project  here.  All  what  I  want  to  use  is  just  the  complexity  and  the  variation  carried  by  this  organism.
