Session notes
Notes taken during the session.
Brainstorm
- Use topography, e.g.
North-South as axis to go along, West-East as left/right panning
- How to do importance weighting?
by population - to amplitude? -> no, that occludes others, best to duration.
first data value to display: wealth , i.e. GDP_per_person
- How to roganize playing in time?
a) One country-> one event, i.e. go over (sorted) lists?
b) Interactive ? i.e. query countries individually?
c) one country is center, others by proximity?
d) regions by speakers -> installation mode; time as the interaction variable.
e) select subgroups by one variable; e.g. only play the poorest 20% of a region, or the middle, or the top 20% (a sliding selection window).
Experiments
Intentionally go slow, show and test every change of code
Weighting of population by duration
Groups by region,
Spatialisation,
What Next?
- use mapped population weight for duration and waittime (1 min) * interactive selection by one variable is (half an hour)
- better sound, more dimensions
Evaluation
- interaction is important and is realized here by the way that the listener can move
- regional comparisons are possible
- more tuning necessary
