Artist Jill Townsley's project for Resonances III explored the idea of "fishing" into data sets in order to extract coherent patterns of data and represent them as visual artwork. Networks are one of the techniques used for the analysis of process data. Petri Nets were introduced by Carl Adam Petri in the 1970s. During the Milan Digital Week in March 2019, participants in the Forever-Do Game physically travelled a Petri Net system. As the game was played, a sculptural installation emerged, consisting of piles of boxes – "data-towers". The order and colour of the stacked boxes provided a binary code used to inform the modular build-up of the Forever-Do Sculpture that was constructed for the Resonances III Festival.
