Take all of the frames from Titanic and you’ll make the above piece of artwork. Jason Salavon does just that, marrying computer algorithims and self-created computer software to make distinctive and culturally relevant artwork. From the University of Chicago Magazine article:

Salavon uses C and C++ programming language, 3-D modeling tools, and other self-created software. “Data in its nature has beauty,” he says. Whether the concept involves demographic stats or pop culture, he never neglects aesthetics. “A viewer will often walk in and not know anything about how the piece was made or the backstory,” Salavon says. “So if it can’t stand by itself as a visual object, it probably won’t pass the test for me.”

Check out his website and maybe even pick one of these up for yourself.
