My First "Data Art"

Generative Art
#1

I got inspired from @Nita’s work to play with randomly generated data with D3… with an artsy touch. :sparkles:

Because I came here from statistics, I felt obliged to draw from a normal distribution, which gave that imperfectly symmetric pattern. It also changes colors with a little setInterval code.

What do you think?

Edit: I added some more:

This is beautiful!

Perhaps we could ask for a “Data Art” or “Generative Art” as a forum category. I’d love to see more of this kind of work - D3.js never fails to impress.

That would be cool… I’d love to see (and do) more work in that category.

That art is so good with animations. :boom:
:slightly_smiling_face: I am also in random numbers, I did statistical data analysis with R. I like math and numbers. I remember the first time I made random colorful circles, it was a wow moment. Art side of data viz is just amazing!

I like how you made that Invisible Dots one without any libraries. Just JS for the loop and a little Flexbox magic.

Simplicity. :ok_hand:t2:

Thanks! Yeah I love how that invisible dots piece is so small and self contained, but also gets at an interesting visual effect.

That reminds me, I was thinking to do a video for this piece - this would go well as an early video in the Datavis 2021 series, which I’m planning now.
