The selected work I have chosen for the Compare/Contrast Project is the one that originally helped inspire our own project from my Assignment 2 research – The Data Fountain.
The Data Fountain is a crucial artifact of research for the basis of our assignment. In comparison it shares the concept of representing a form of information through the most rawest way possible. In this case it is the natural environment around you; The Data Fountain uses a water fountain as an aesthetically pleasing solution of representing chosen data – in their case the Stock Exchange. However with our intended project we hope to use the water-fountain concept to directly link the symbolic relationship of the water, to that of the water we are representing of the South-East Queensland Dams – to the vistors and fellow South East residents of Queensland.
The reason why I chose this project was basically a given; I chose to review it in my second assignment task and from there it’s concept became a key basis for our own. I intend to compare and contrast this project with our own in terms of conceptual focus, audience experience, and underlying technology. The Data Fountain itself has received media attention and review articles of its success and leading example of ubiquitous technology.
“I’m not sure whether embedding digital information in the manifest world is just cool, or if it’s useful too. But doing it with fountains is so cool it makes the question irrelevant.” – Futuristic
I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine.Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music that he's created over the years - I don't really listen to it. But the fact that he's making it, I respect that.
