the nature of code cosmos edition from Amelia winger-bearskin on Vimeo.

this is the text from Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”

the song I wrote was during the workshop the Nature of Code: Cosmos Edition by Dan Shiffman we had this past Saturday. He took us to a planetarium to try out some ideas for visualization of data in space or from space.

So this is more of a metaphor than useful space details but it will look cool on Friday projected in the planetarium.  My voice changes the colors and size of the text…..
