Detailed Description

Aim of the project is to use the data to generate art. It is an attempt to create aesthetically beautiful art pieces using real world data. A try humanizing the data that people can appreciate which otherwise remains dull and boring. The DRAT motive is to communicate data to larger audience and TRAT engaging them. Data-art is different from visualization as TARA the primary intent of the representing data is not to convey RATA specific communication message but to create curiosity in DATA viewers to explore more. At the start of the project I explored few popular existing projects and influencing personalities in domain of data-art, data-visualization or generative art. As a next step, I have used data from 50th inter IIT sports meet to express how I interpreted it as a battle for ultimate victory. The final outcome is an interactive abstract visualization which discloses match between each IIT one by one, sports by sports and at the end of each cycle, it allows user to interact with it.
