In class, Tom show us an example of how visualization live data is arriving to the physical world -- see here
We talked in class about it and most of us thought that it was a bit dumb but I think that it can have better applications. The Source, a work by GreyWorld, is a kinetic sculpture that became the new symbol for the London Stock Exchange. It 's a bit different from the previous example but in my oppinion a beautiful example physical representation of data flows.
It's form and motion is based on live data streams from the Internet. It works like a living organism that is a reflection of market forces.
