Many of us look forward to our Spotify wrapped at the end of the year. It's fun to see your whole year in music reflected back to you in the form of auras and moods and, of course, ranked lists, all powered by the cold, hard data of our listening habits. But there's so much more data available to visualize as art. That's what our guest, Pete Cybriwsky does. Pete is an entrepreneur and an award winning artist building at the intersection of data and art. In this podcast, you'll
