[x] feasibility study: can we build a streaming service that streams the sonification of network?
[x] find a name for this software art installation
[x] prepare a simulator of the kungsgatan screen in the lab

We'll need to check if it's possible to have a computer with our own software connected to the screen in order to do real-time visuals. If not it will have to be a static video.

Yes, I'll check with the organizers and I am trying to reach out to the Nobel foundation who has used the screen in the past: https://youtu.be/JeTsWUHSLsE

Software object: Bahnhof is interested in sharing some live traffic from their datacenters, providing this type of information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetFlow

Just made a template triggered by the data stream where particles just move to one of the windows. To be filled with meaning from the actual data. https://github.com/castor-software/rethread/tree/master/code/nobel/visuals-template

Different dimensions of the data that we should test for visualization, from the most concrete (location names), to most abstract (colorful drops that visualize packets)

[x] packets that go in Sweden; in Europe; in other continents. Write names of zone. @imjhonny
[x] most active destination and provenance country. Write names of countries. @imjhonny
[x] number of incoming / outgoing packets; size of traffic; number of services; number of countries. Have numbers increase in real time. @ErikNatanael
[x] intensity of the different protocols
[x] drops wrt size of incoming packets. @ErikNatanael
[x] drops wrt size of outgoing packets. @ErikNatanael
[ ] record 1440 data points corresponding to 24 hours activity, recording every minute. @tdurieux
[ ] map of the world that grows over the whole period of the festival (10 days). @ErikNatanael
[x] opening screen
[x] closing screen
[ ] vernissage screen
