HIDA Corporate Images

2020

generative graphics from scientific data

Real scientific datasets – from earthquakes in Chile to neuronic signals in human brains – are translated into computer generated, aesthetically loaded visuals for HIDA's corporate communication.

THE STORY
HIDA Zauber der Daten

Editorial

3D Generative Design

E. Coli growth rates

Code & translation

14 datasets are the basis for 26 algorithms. Each one outputs several variations of a graphic.

Circadian oscilator

Alaskan permafrost thoughts

The datasets are taken from scientific research within HIDA’s several institutes and universities. Covering fields like neurology, climate, biology, geology, IT etc.

The algorithms translate information into color, shape and motion.

Cell tracking

The results are no classical information graphics, but rather aesthetic illustrations of otherwise invisible data.

Brain synchrony, E. Coli growth rates, density matrix elements of Urea

Density matrix elements of Urea

Density matrix elements of Urea, neural signals from interacting persons

Data radiotherapy dose, earthquakes in Northern Chile, neural signals from interacting persons

Rate of change of ozone

Alanine, earthquakes in Northern Chile, rate of change of ozone, neural Signals from interacting persons

Amino acid positions for proteins aligned to each other

The process

Data is collected in sheets. Exported CSVs are loaded into Processing. Specifically designed algorithms then transform millions of data points into geometry, colors and motion.

The programs allow exports of PDFs for print quality and image sequences for animation.
