Travis Kirton has been developing tools for Interactive real time data visualization and computational arts and he specializes in gestural, nonlinear typography.
He developed a prototype application, TextDraw that allows for the creation of typographic works through gestural interaction.TextDraw looks toward tangible-surface interaction and the idea that associating functions to gestures combined with new tangible tools will result in radically new methodologies for design, artistic and poetic expression of typographic works.
Using Text Draw Travis transformed an entire book (Alice in Wonderland) into a visual artwork using the entire text of the book:

Creative Environment for Emerging Electronic Culture www.ce3c.com has some projects such as artists Derek Demassi and Greg Debicki who have begun developing their new project Swimming with Pask, at the CE3C lab with interesting interactive, real time data visualization. Swimming with Pask is a digital media performance/installation that uses software and technology to give bioluminescent algae creative agency, allowing it to perform audio/visual collaborative improvisations with their breath.
