Valentina D'Efilippo, Miriam Quick - Oddityviz, Visualising David Bowie’s Space Oddity

After David Bowie died in early 2016, designer Valentina D’Efilippo and researcher Miriam Quick decided to pay tribute by turning one of his best-known songs, Space Oddity, into data visualisation.The result was Oddityviz, a collection of ten engraved records visualising data from the song. Each 12-inch disc deconstructs the track in a different way: melodies, harmonies, lyrics, structure and story are transformed into new visual systems. The records are accompanied by a series of matching posters and a moving image piece that visualises the music in real time.Valentina and Miriam will talk about how they created the project and what they learned along the way.

Davey van der Woert - Particles in Data Visualisation

Anna Grüebler, Hugh Leoidsson - Data Visualization for Enterprise Products

A taster session showing several enterprise products developed by AltViz for Global Enterprise Partners (Fortune 500 size companies) where we used innovative ways to visualize and interact with information and algorithms.
