null_sets
Null_sets explores the gap between data and information. Made in conjunction with Oak Ridge National Lab and consisting of a set of images (plus a free app), this project stems from an interest in glitches, code-breaking, and translation. The null_sets script encodes text files as images, making it possible to visualize both the size and architecture of large-scale data sets through an aesthetic lens.
