In this essay, I explore other physical visualization works as inspirations for the emergence of approaches and ideas in my own design process, and consider issues of complexity in their approaches to visualizing data and the larger concepts they represent.

The project for my MA thesis in the Emergent Digital Practices program focuses on developing a prototype of a networked art object that will be utilized by hospital staff to rapidly monitor current patient capacity data. This essay describes the background for this project, presenting the case for replacing a manual capacity alert system at a local hospital with an automated, active physical visualization object. A brief look at the history of physical visualization objects is covered, along with an analysis of a current “commercialized” solution used in manufacturing operations.
