'Pre-Crystal' is a generative installation by Sands Fish (@sands fish) created for the 2014 Cambridge Science Festival 'Central Elements' project, which paired artists with scientists with storefronts. It was installed at CCTV in Central Square, Cambridge, MA.

Much appreciation goes to the scientists, Justin Roberts (Northeastern University) and Timothy Atherton (Tufts University, Department of Physics and Astronomy).

Sands Fish is works at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, and the MIT Media Lab's Center for Civic Media. He organizes the Boston Creative Coders collective.

This was my submission to MIT's "Art of Astrophysics" competition this year.  It was generated with Processing.

It takes 1000 years of data calculated to show what the radial velocity of an alien would measure if they were looking for exoplanets around our own sun.

Lighter areas on the edges show radial velocities slowing down as they reverse direction.

More information on the measurement technique here:

Many thanks to the MIT Astrophysics department for providing me with the calculations and data to create this, specifically Kevin Schlaufman and Zach Berta-Thompson.
