Physical to Emotional to Digital

Digital to physicalSyneseizure makes objects feel loud.

- Ariel Waldman

Particle Wind Chime: Winning both the Best Use of Data and People’s Choice award was Particle Wind Chime, a

hack that took particle collision data from accelerator laboratories and mapped it across various sounds.

This made for a particularly cool aural experience that could someday be used as a diagnostic tool for

scientists; it additionally inspired a late night meta hack for visualizing the sounds.
