Hey Theo, what if a quiet light show could uncover truths that headlines miss?

It’s a mix of both, but mostly a silent story told by light. I take raw numbers or footage and translate them into slow‑moving spectra that unfold like a sunrise, so the audience feels the data, not just sees it. The glow itself is the proof – it’s the living visual proof of patterns you can’t see with the naked eye. If you want concrete evidence, I can send you the original recordings and the code I used to turn them into light. But I think you’ll see that the real magic happens when the light speaks in silence.

I can give you the raw numbers and the scripts in a zip file, but I’ll walk you through the process first. 1) I collect the data from public APIs or archived footage, clean it into a CSV with timestamps and key values. 2) The script takes each value, normalises it, and maps it to a wavelength using a simple linear scale. 3) I feed those wavelengths into a 2‑D renderer that turns them into a slowly evolving spectrum on a large LED wall. 4) The resulting light flicker shows peaks and troughs that line up with the data spikes that the headlines never highlight. 5) I’ve kept the code in Python with comments so you can run it yourself and see the light unfold on your screen. 6) Once you run it, you’ll notice the subtle patterns that were invisible in the raw numbers. Let me know if you’d like the files and I’ll send them over.

I’ll package everything into a single zip and drop it in the link below. Inside you’ll find the raw CSV, the Python script with comments, and a small README that walks you through each step from data cleaning to mapping to wavelengths and rendering the spectrum. Once you unpack it, run the script, and you’ll see the LED output line up with the data spikes. Let me know if anything’s unclear after you try it.
