Interactive Data-Driven Generative Art

The Epochs

The Epochs is a data-driven interactive audiovisual art installation that visualizes the Internet population throughout human history. We used the open data from 1990 until 2019 to create an algorithm that generates the movement and clustering of abstract visual elements.

​

To inspire the audience to interact with the data, the work utilizes the camera sensor to detect people and creates a magnifying glass for the visitor to "peek" into each year's population growth.

​

It is easy to forget what life was like without ubiquitous technologies. The Internet may have already changed the world, but no doubt, big changes still lie ahead.

​

The work was exhibited at DeSForM Conference 2019 – Beyond Intelligence hosted by MIT Design Lab during October 9-11, 2019, where creative people from different backgrounds worldwide joined to discuss emerging innovation in design.
