"Matthew
Lewis and Daniel Jolliffe present their contribution to the
Art's Birthday celebration, an annual event to celebrate the
presence of art in our lives first proposed in 1963 by French
artist Robert Filliou. Taking part in the Scrambled Bites
data exchange project, we will work with data fed over the
Internet from specially designed sculptures, devices and sensors
made by artists in Australia, Japan, Canada and Austria. From
Ohio, we will be sending to the other artists data representing
activity in front of Hopkins, as well as the number and strength
of GPS satellites in orbit over our location. This mass of
data sources will be visualized in a video projection visible
from the outside of Hopkins. Part visualization, part data
modeling experiment, the resultant projection is a composite
image of activity across the network and closer to home."
