‘Algorisims’ is an interactive space, it educates users as to how algorithms work within todays digital world. You can find algorithms in almost every aspect of our modern day lives, but at the same time most people don’t know what they are. By exploring the algorithmic process in a visual and creative way, they become more accessible allowing for a greater understanding.
I have designed the online space which houses different experiments, all with their own relevant message about algorithms. As well as designing this, I have created a working site where you can have a play yourself. All coded using Machine Learning with Java Script from TensorFlow.js and p5.js. See WIP site here.
While navigating through the different activities the user is be met with information on what that algorithm represents in the real world.
The algorithms all run from a personal input, which is then processed, creating a new desired output, that will be shown on the screen. This mirrors an algorithmic process.
The users output will be upload live to the gallery during interaction, highlighting how we are all part of larger algorithms unseen in our daily lives.
Each of these experiments represent a different algorithmic process, tracking, classification, filtering and face recognition. Go to http://algorisims.glitch.me/ to have a play yourself. This is the current working site. I plan on developing this site further with its design and content so that the project can be fully realised.
