When a single or album sells more than a certain amount of units they become a <strong>gold</strong> or <strong>platinum record</strong>. The artist generally receives a framed vinyl or CD. But in these days of data being tracked everywhere and listening to music online, could I <strong>develop a more data art inspired version of a gold record</strong> using data from the actual streams, charts and the song itself. Well, that sounded like an <em>amazingly fun</em> project to sink my teeth into so I enthusiastically agreed!</p>
