BRAINSTORMING FOR FINAL PROJECT

A really good article about data art with examples of different artists.

Number 7 is quite cool
There is some data from weathercast, from the size and timing of waves, from public forums online ( we could maybe use sites like reddit as they don’t have any copyrights
Overall it is a very environmental based article however we can adjust any methods used to our own liking :)

Batch vs Stream
With batch, a set of data is collected over time, then fed into an analytics system. In other words, you collect a batch of information, then send it in for processing.
Whilst with streaming, data is fed into analytics tools piece-by-piece. The processing is usually done in real time.

Real time processing is designed for data in motion.

There are two dimensions of “Real Time”. Also there are different classes of “Real Time”

These could be ideas of what to concentrate our real time data processing on. For instance we could create real live data on how many people buy or look at a certain object in real time. Such as searching asos/newlook/h&m online and purchasing a particular item (a red dress). Almost like how when you shop the website tells you that “20 more people are looking at the item you want to purchase now”.

This is the slide from which I took the 2 screenshots above and the first few slides make sense but it get more complicated so I will have to comment on this later after a meeting with my team. It talks about what kind of software you have to use if you were using “streaming”. For instance Apache Storm or Apache Samza.

Also as the word “streaming” is used a lot, things like movies and music came to my mind as data that we can use. For instance if we concentrate on one illegal streaming website for music or film, the names of the music/films or the images which come with them can be displayed randomly one after another on the “canvas” in real time and in the following sequence in which they are being streamed by people in the uk.

-Could use a reading input and reading it out in reverse order: like an obfuscation or a weird language.

We can do:

GAMES: amiibos, marvel, open trivia, Steam
GEOGRAPHY - Google Maps, whats the most searched location

-A map connecting people who are downloading and interested in the same
game at the same time from the API of STEAM Steam is a multi-player platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute games and related media online.Steam provides the user with installation and automatic management of software across multiple computers, community features such as friends lists and groups and in-game voice and chat functionality.)
