This was an exploratory experiment for myself. My first real data visualization. To keep things open, I used a very simple dataset, I just wanted to explore techniques and creative coding based on a pure data. Using David Lynch's Number of the Day videos, I started exploring at the whim of his hand grabbing a ping pong ball every now and then.

From random walks, spectrograms, heatmaps, to data sonification. I learned a lot doing this experiment. Learning some of the limits of both TouchDesigner and Blender, some Python with bpy. Since I wanted to bring these visualizations into the world, I started repairing an old 3D printer I got. In the end, everything came together as I printed my 3D models, generated from the David Lynch dataset, alongside an accompaning music piece generated by the very same data, using sounds covered from a spectrogram generated used that same data. ⁠Whew!
