Intention

The main focus of this project was to represent the impact of the data. Each data point is more than a set of representational values, but instead represent serious events in people's lives. I hoped to use sound to increase the impact of the visual data. Additionally, I manipulated the data between the visualization and sound to a simpler form, as in a form that is a lie but will make sense to a wider set of people. I am not really impacted by charts and graphs in the media. If I were to watch Fox News, I probably would not notice the false trends of data in terms of the significance behind what they were trying to show. I never pay attention to the magnitude behind the data. I only notice what is bigger or increasing, not the scale or importance of the data. 

For this reason, I wanted to add more of an impact to the data. I wanted to make a sound that built off of itself, symbolizing just how many accidents this song was representing. Instead of comparing data, I wanted to show the emotion behind data adding up.
