In Harmony; The Five Boroughs

Digital sculptures created from New York population density data

In Harmony: Manhattan

Using population density data for the New York borough of Manhattan, a digital sculpture is formed – an abstract totem of the ebb and flow of a busy population. The central form is created from a proprietary algorithm which transforms alphanumeric strings of data – in this instance "Manhattan" – into a unique three dimensional shape in which the populous, represented by data-born strands and coloured by the images of Manhattan's glass skyscrapers, move in, around and through this code born form.

In Harmony: Brooklyn

Using population density data for the New York borough of Brooklyn, a digital sculpture is formed – an abstract totem of the ebb and flow of a busy population. The central form is created from a proprietary algorithm which transforms alphanumeric strings of data – in this instance "Brooklyn" – into a unique three dimensional shape in which the populous, represented by data-born strands and coloured by the images of Brooklyn's tree-lined neighbourhoods, move in, around and through this code born form.

In Harmony: Queens

Using population density data for the New York borough of Queens, a digital sculpture is formed – an abstract totem of the ebb and flow of a busy population. The central form is created from a proprietary algorithm which transforms alphanumeric strings of data – in this instance "Queens" – into a unique three dimensional shape in which the populous, represented by data-born strands and coloured by images of taxi cabs leaving JFK, move in, around and through this code born form.

In Harmony: The Bronx

Using population density data for the New York borough of The Bronx, a digital sculpture is formed – an abstract totem of the ebb and flow of a busy population. The central form is created from a proprietary algorithm which transforms alphanumeric strings of data – in this instance "The Bronx" – into a unique three dimensional shape in which the populous, represented by data-born strands and coloured by images of The Yankee Stadium, move in, around and through this code born form.

In Harmony: Staten Island

Using population density data for the New York borough of Staten Island, a digital sculpture is formed – an abstract totem of the ebb and flow of a busy population. The central form is created from a proprietary algorithm which transforms alphanumeric strings of data – in this instance "Staten Island" – into a unique three dimensional shape in which the populous, represented by data-born strands and coloured by images of the Staten Island ferry, move in, around and through this code born form
