Abstract
Two projects are proposed that look at computer data as a malleable construct and suggest
possible directions for what a fictional data type might be in the context of artistic based
representations. The first work Walking is a dynamic light based installation that involves the
representation of a series of 1 dimensional computer data streams as a series of 1 dimensional
representations over time as rhythms of light and uses physical objects to bring meaning to the
computer rendering of this handmade fictional data. The second work Weather Projection is a
web based work that internally starts with the data of a few descriptive words that define he
circumstances in a distant location and magnifies and exaggerates these words to the extreme
point of creating a personal narrative movie (with the help of the viewer). These two works are
at opposite ends of a spectrum that is defined by the complexity of the transformation used to
represent a piece of data.
