Mars Land by Artist Daniel Ochoa

Screen shot from new web based project Mars Land

This project uses programming languages javascript and php to access NASA's API and randomized text is outputted over the image. An ajax call to the API returns JSON formatted data and is sorted to pull images over 500 pixels in hight from the MAST camera on Mars Rover Curiosity. The text over the image is a result of programmatically randomizing a database of words entered by the artist. Words are in columns of various categories such as emotion, color, adjective, noun and time.

Daily Pics and info from NASA's open APOD api. I started using some of nasa's api's to research and develop concepts for instillations. Not sure where it is going. But great to see how much data and how many images are out there.
