I was really surprised to find this on an old harddrive recently. This is an image I made way back in 2003 of the words to Squarepusher’s song Red Hot Car. Using the waveform - I chopped up the text of the lyrics to match with the chopped up vocals.

Today most data is born digitally. It’s not about the transition from analog to digital anymore. We don’t talk about how to rip anything without losing quality since we make perfect 1 to 1 digital copies of things. Music, movies, books, all come from the digital sphere. But we’re physical people and we need objects to touch sometimes as well!
We believe that the next step in copying will be made from digital form into physical form. It will be physical objects. Or as we decided to call them: Physibles. Data objects that are able (and feasible) to become physical. We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step. We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare sparts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years.
The benefit to society is huge. No more shipping huge amount of products around the world. No more shipping the broken products back. No more child labour. We’ll be able to print food for hungry people. We’ll be able to share not only a recipe, but the full meal. We’ll be able to actually copy that floppy, if we needed one.

The LaserTour is a unique microcomputer system that amalgamates a superior, industrial quality LaserDisc player with a video disc, a 45″ rear screen video projector, and the Lifecycle electronic bicycle/aerobic trainer.” - Neiman Marcus catalog, 1982

I used to do comics in the style of RGB XYZ for fun. They’re based on dumb maya jokes which probably no one will understand. Sorry.
