I also organised my stuff based on its wrapability  so as you can see in the photo my computer would have taken the most amount of surface area and the keys or SD car reader the least. The paper without anythign on it is where my phone would be. I meant to take a photo of all the paper piled up from largest to smallest like a pyramid btu ran out of time / forgot to take a photo of it.

We were asked for a class exercise to look at the contents of/in our bags and make sense of them by finding patterns and arranging them to make sense. The photo is the content of my items and (forgot his name) had. Some groups organised theirs by cost, weight or size. We noticed that the majority of our items were colourless so we put aside the few objects which didn’t fit the criteria and ordered the objects from white to dark, taking into account the shinny or matte textures. It shows to us how we process data and make sense of it. There was no grand narrative made from this, but also points out how lifeless modern design is?¿

I was a bit unsure of what class to choose as my first Uni elective but now I’m very very happy to be in Visualising Data in Art. After the Mondays class I was massively inspired by some of the stuff we saw, the scope of things which we can do is massive. I already know a few of the applications we will be looking into. A while ago for a school project I used Processing to Data glitch photos for Art although I had no idea what I was doing. I would love to learn more about the program because it could help me greatly for making more experimental videos.
