Project 3: What Processing can do

by samscaife on Monday 9 January 2012

There are lots of examples of great projects on processing. It gets used to build interactive installations
and visualisations of data.

 

This interactive installation show how Max Planck Institutes collaborate. it takes date from over 94,000 publications from over the past 10 years which is a really large amount of data. This date is then represented graphically with "the size representing the number of scientific publication, and the width of the connecting lines the number of jointly published papers between two institutes" (source).



It is also used to made generative art work such as this piece by Christian Flaccus which I found on Jer Thorp's blog

tree.growth.redux by Christian Flaccus

I saw Jer Thorp speak at flash on the beach about Project Cascade which visualises the spread of sharing activity through social media.
