For the fifth Decibels Data Sonification Challenge, the dataset provided was by Loud Numbers :github.com/loudnumbers/environ. For that challenge, I wanted the sounds to represent the increase in CFCS gases as well as the accumulation of CO2 that is being seen annually for the past 63 years. I decided to add an insect sample to the mix of sounds as a representation of the natural realm that is being affected by these changes. This was coded in SonicPi.

For the Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph : “Greenhouse”, Floral, Air & 63, I decided to use Locomotion and it’s floral species to be the visual counterpart to this sonification.

#Poem

The effects
Felt through the various depths
As the world rotates
The plants attempt to eliminate
Through their breaths and steps

Google DocsStickers and Stamps!Hello! My name is Kristin. I'm just one person. Trying to do something good. Together we can * support the USPS with stamp purchases * collect data on mail delivery times * share a little bit of joy You may just want a free sticker. That's cool! BUT I NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHEN IT ARRIVES! It costs me about $5 per request (plus my time), so please tell me when my envelope arrives in your postal mailbox. * Be sure your email address is correct, so that I can let you know when the sticker is mailed and you can start checking your mailbox daily. * If you're outside of the US, please type your mailing address (with postal code) in the "Questions and comment" section of this form. Who am I? I'm Kristin Henry, Science and Data Visualization Pioneer, Artist, and Computer Scientist. http://kristinhenry.github.io/ https://artatomic.itch.io/ Want to help support this project? https://ko-fi.com/artatomic I've created data visualizations showing which cities and states I've sent stickers to, so far.

Got my first batch of envelops, for this year, in the mail today!

Wow! Most of them have destinations outside of the US. A lot more expensive to send, but worth the context data.

When I was heading out the door to walk these to my local post office, my mail carrier was right there and offered to take them. So this is the first batch I didn't walk to my post office.

Went on my walk anyway, needed the exercise :)
