This little interactive installation made by Jonathan Vingiano reads the information magnetically stored on credit cards and translates it into sound.
Nothing too ambitious here, but a funny little piece of data sonifying art. I don't know what kind of algorithm is used to generate the sound, and if it would be possible to learn to understand what is on the cards?
