Admire – Starry Night (Interactive Animation)

This impressed me as a relatively simple idea, very well executed.  The visualization seemed almost obvious as soon as I saw it and I thought the sound design was well-executed.

Surprised – Fragmented Memory

I thought this was a very interesting.  The software part (turning a memory dump into an image) isn’t particularly interesting by itself, but the idea of turning that into a physical tapestry really appealed to me.

Almost – CSIS Data Chandelier

I really like a lot of elements of what’s being done here.  At the basic level, the piece serves a practical purpose but has a nice aesthetic.  It is dynamic and adjustable while still be subtle. However, it doesn’t look like it can really display that much and it comes across as rather dull in the video.
