A Car Gets Deconstructed Into Visual Data

Ryoji Ikeda has taken a Honda Civic and distilled it down to pure data. Structure, motion, tuning and other data are reinterpreted to become something of a living engineering diagram. It’s beautiful stuff, considering the subject is a machine.

Using the entire data set of a Honda Civic, Ikeda created an audiovisual composition on a three screen projection where the car is broken down and transformed into a series of data visualizations and sound pieces—generative blueprints—where numbers and images cascade across the screens. “It’s like a human, the many organs in it, and that inspired me,” says Ikeda in the video when talking about the car.

curiositycounts: Climate Chain – visualizing natural ecosystems and the goods and services humans have extracted from them in the last 50 years. Experience it in embiggened glory here. There’s a lot of interesting connections drawn between pieces of global ecosystems here, as well as some harrowing projections for possible losses. It’s kind of a busy infographic, with several typos (they’re Italian, and it’s in English), but fun to explore.
