Descriptive Statement: Humans create cities, whereas a city metaphor reflects data sets.

What technological and human worlds have in common? Humans create cities, whereas a city metaphor reflects rhythm and organization of big data sets and makes data mining easier.
My objective is to juxtapose the regularity of nature with man's intellectual constructions. Natural order guides our understanding of big data sets related to network analysis, when we employ physical analogies of the data, render the data graphically, explore them ‘by eye’ and interact in real time. Observers — whether artists or technology experts — perceive such relationships from different perspectives and different points of view.
Software: Adobe Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Quick Time, programs written in Fortran.
Hardware: Macintosh,, digital camera
Techniques: Computer plots obtained using Fortran, IGL and transformed into photosilkscreens for color variation were applied on a surface of a mirror to create an image of a city. A short animated film with people in motion has been projected on this mirror surface, just creating a reflection of people’s movement. Thus, the image of the city has been juxtaposed with the animated actions, to show how a big city life involves individual life events and daily routines.
