Three Corners of the City: Dynamic Data Art

Posted: Mon 8 Nov

The City of Casey installed pedestrian counting sensors across three activity centres to enable Council and community to make COVID-safe decisions. This data is housed on Casey’s open data platform here.  The team at Swinburne took this data to create an artistic visualisation to highlight the pedestrian activity across Casey. This smart data visualisation connects three communities across place and across time. 

Three data touchpoints record people walking in three communities (Narre Warren, Berwick and Cranbourne) in an interconnecting flow of everyday life over the month of September - 24 hours a day. The data breathes life and form into the three Casey community areas, taking the shape of moving mythical creatures.  

This representation shows the variety of ways data can be used to engage a wide range of audiences. 

Three Corners of The City will be exhibiting in the Bunjil Place foyer Tuesday 26 October – Sunday 12 December daily.
