It is the next level of flickr visualization1. Since I could not manage to display
all the tags, I needed to find the way to visualize all the tags. So, I created
spiral and placed into 3D space which has Z index. Thus, I could be able to
display all the tags even though they’re huge amount of data. Compare to the
first one, it is not generative in real time, because ‘hashmap’ is used for first
one to analyze data and it took long time to display all the tags. As a result,
I used array, and let processing to analyze all the data before it displays.
Although I liked generative part of the first one, I get more interactivity with
second one. Moreover, it is well structured program, so I can take any
similar XML data and visualize it in same way.
It is important to treat the data in proper manner otherwise data is just
0 and 1 in vitual world. Once it is treated, it becames a data that can
be used to bring informations. As an artist, I decided to visualize it to inform
how data is related and relevant to the human activity.
Technical note:
Since it is using openGL rendering, it does not export properly. As a result,
I could not make it work at browser, and I will update it once I can fix this
problem.
