Over the years, EDLUNDART has devised several highly idiosyncratic data art projects that attempt to convert facts and figures into mechanically determined music. This 3D animated data visualization for CNNMoney (now CNN Business) translates the ups and downs of the 2013 stock market into a rather odd reggae song. The pitch for each note is determined by the daily closing numbers of the S&P 500. While this project is very old, it is included here as it is considered by some kind souls to be a seminal work of data art. The visualization was featured on Fast Company's Co.Design blog as Infographic of the Day, and was exhibited as part of a great show called Dataism at the famous Droog Gallery in Amsterdam, in February 2014.
