My first attempt was to explore and understand how X&Y space works in order to achieve what I want in my final piece.
Using Data about top 10 Highest Mountains I created a chart according to my idea of creating a chart that is more related to data that is being represented as well it's nature themed.
Simply setting up the tallest mountain I used percentage how much other mountains are smaller than Everest. The height data is applied in triangle's y-cordinate first point.
This is a way to show my understanding in Processing.
Later on I took a sketch from Open Processing and changed it according Human Cell table.
The original data was from a sound wave.
The particles speed of oscillation respond to frequency data set, and their sizes to amplitude data.
So there were two sets: speed and size. Speed wise Cells movement is too fast for code to process it, because it was made accordingly with sound wave's data. Though size wise I changed it according to cell volume and it created different waves from the original.
Development
"Mountain heights"
"Human Cell movement"
Final piece
"Deforestation"
For final piece I decided to use already created code and apply data method I used for "Mountain heights".
The hardest part was to get to know the code, how it's made and how it works with changes I apply.
Data table I'm using is deforestation numbers from 1990, I took 'Forest biomass', 'total' section and applied it to the numbers of branches of each tree in my sketch.
