Orientated

Eyebeam

I’ve been selected to be a resident artist at Eyebeam Atelier. Today I visited my studio & had a walk through of the facilities and what’s on offer. I need to make a daily plan for the next 5 months - maybe even a backcasting exercise for 5 months from now (obv. a strategic planner). This is gonna be good.

Hip-Hop Word Count: Visualization Of Rapper Geo Coordinates In Google Earth

YouTube Preview Image

A lot is getting accomplished on the Hip-Hop Word Count - an ethnographic database built from 30 years of Hip-Hop content. Most has been on the hush but I thought it would be a good idea to share some of the development in order to get your feedback on my prototyping.

This video is the result of converting rapper geographical data (City/State/County/Country) into their respective geo coordinates and using those as input for Google Earth.

Trying to disprove the hypothesis that living in higher altitudes creates a natural inclination for gangster rap. ⇐ a joke
