Midterm Presentation-Nature of Code

Human history is a collection of data, represented in many different ways.
I’m going to map data to a space/time artistic representation using latitude and longitude. In a few words, I would like to have a dynamic visualization that describes cholera, aid, HIV and malaria from a social point of view. I would like to have an organic net that interacts with each cell. The overlapping of facts in mankind fascinates me. Education, health, wars and wealth define our path and development.

For the midterm I would like to have a silhouette of a map that hosts different organisms that coexist and attack each other. When I say silhouette, I imagine a map being drawn by the disease as they grow and interact.

For the first sketch, I’ve used box2d and it’s been very convenient but I’m open to experiment with toxiclib. It looks wonderful if it’s used with particles.

The history of diseases in mankind is long and full of interesting paths.
