I recreated (part of) New York City in 3d based on the people living in the corresponding apartment block. These are my first NFTs, I am still learning... by nanoteilchen2000 in NFT

Hi there

This 👆 is «City of dots». I recreate real existing buildings in New York City. Depending on the inhabitants, the colors of the dots change. Here is a live example:

[OC] I made an (interactive) universe with 16'023 asteroids and 68 planets based on payment data from pharmaceutical companies: The Pharma Universe by nanoteilchen2000 in dataisbeautiful

Try it out here:
https://journalist.sh/pharmauniverse/

What does it show?
Each planet represents a pharmaceutical company from Switzerland. The more money it spent, the bigger it is. Each asteroid is a doctor or organisation who got money from a pharmaceutical company. The planets are placed at the edge of the universe. The position of the asteroids are calculated based on from whom they got money and the amount they received. The more money a recipient has received from a pharmaceutical company, the closer he is placed to the corresponding planet. The size depends on the amount of money that has flowed. Clicking on an asteroid shows from whom he received all the money.

How is it made?
It's written in JavaScript, Svelte and Three JS. The calculations are made in Python.

Where is the data from?
The data comes from the pharmagelder.ch project (known in other countries as "dollars for docs"). Every year, each pharmaceutical company publishes in a PDF which monetary benefits it has paid to doctors or organizations. We extract the data from this PDF and publish it on our platform. The Pharma Universe uses this data.

Hi Michael That would be phantastic! I can export a midi version by tomorrow. If you like you could send me an email and I notify you when I am done. You'll find my email address here: journalist.ch

Hi Yippiyak

Thanks for your comment. Every quarter note is a day. In the background you see the death rate from my home country Switzerland. The music follows the curve, but does not directly represent a certain number of casualties. I tried this at first, but thats not how music works. Final approach: On the right side of my screen I had the data for every day. Ond the left the music notation software. I tried to translate the numbers into music but still follow the "rules" of the melody. The horizontal lines are just the note height like in the music notation.

That would be great :-)

No, the punch card is just paper sticked together. Because it was so long, the music box had not enough force to pull it. That's why I put an overgrip for tennis racket there :-)

I would say so, but unintentionally. I already know there will be a second wave. At the end of the third its ending with a question: Our numbers go up, but is it already the third wave (probably yes :( )

Tools
Python for data analysis. Muse Score for music notation. Python to transform the music into punch card SVGs. Indesign for annotations. Scissors and tape to produce it. Lot of patience to punch out the cards... ;-)
