I’ve been think­ing about how best to aural­ize data. I real­ize that’s not a real word (yet), but con­sider aural­iza­tion to be visu­al­iza­tion’s audi­tory sib­ling. The music video by Johannes Kreidler above, while hokey, is both inno­v­a­tive and entertaining.

Sometimes I would get dis­tracted while doing the dishes and play these appli­ances as though they were instru­ments. Be hon­est: Have you ever heard a dish­washer duet that sounded so good?
