Bringing Art on 100 New Bus Stations Screens

BRIGHT has been selected by JCDecaux and Paris to exhibit digital art on City’s new bus stations screens. BRIGHT displays art on 100 screens, allowing people to discover a curated selection of digital art while waiting for their Bus. First month curation will display a selection of « data-artists » : Louis Eveillard, Emilie Coquard, Marcin Ignac and Félicien Goguey. New artworks will appear every few weeks, each using an interesting feature of JCDecaux screens. More informations to come in the coming weeks. (Picture : Marcin Ignac & Henrik Wollik.)

Three years of tracking Polish artist Marcin Ignac's computer usage in the form of clicks and keystrokes.

"He tracked his computer use with an OS X app written by designer Dean McNamee called Tapper, which logs minutes spent at the computer. Then he used the programming environment Plask to visualize the data, creating an image where each line represents the course of a day. A second set of visualizations map mouse clicks and keystrokes. You can clearly see where he was on vacation, where the blackened striations become thicker, while the periodic all-nighters stay bright across the entire image. “In these 2.5 years I’ve made 2,610,877 clicks and pressed 10,207,483 keys,” Ignac writes. “For another person it might look like bunch of colorful stripes but I can really see patterns based on the software I was using at that moment, the projects I worked on, when I changed jobs or when I was traveling.”

2,5 Anos De Uso De Um Computador Transformados Numa Deslumbrante Visualização de Dados

Marcin Ignac Every Day of My Life top image: Apps, bottom image: keyboard hits

Every Day of My Life is a visualization of my computer usage statistics from the last 2.5 years. Each line represents one day and each colorful block is the most foreground app running at the given moment. Black areas are periods when my computer is not turned on. Seeping patterns (or lack of them) and time of holidays and travel (longer gaps) can be therefore easily identified.

All data was gathered using Tapper - a small OSX app logging my application usage written by Dean McNamee. It was later visualized by me using Plask environment.

Marcin Ignac (twitter) recorded everything he did on his computer for 2½ years, then created a series of beautiful visualizations based upon the data: "Each line represents one day and each colorful block is the most foreground app running at the given moment. Black areas are periods when my computer is not turned on. Seeping patterns (or lack of them) and time of holidays and travel (longer gaps) can be therefore easily identified."
