Description

Cloud Bridge is an immersive interactive audiovisual artwork for both data exploration and artistic creation. It explores how information can be visualized and then sonified to facilitate findings, and eventually become interactive visualization and sonification. The basic concept of this project is to give any dataset time-based, innovative presentation. Cloud Bridge functions in two modes: exploration and interaction. Exploration is designed to discover interesting patterns, shapes and relationships in between the dataset. Different colors are mapped to keywords for users to explore. Interaction is for targeting group interaction. A group of users functioning as a performance ensemble participate in the piece by interactively querying the database using Android and iOS devices. Cloud Bridge leads to a new interactive experience utilizing data as medium to create visualization, sonification and real-time interaction.
