Data sculptures create objects out of mathematical functions.
This skyline is the histogram of an image, basically the tally of different shades of gray within an image.
This chair is produced by a sound wave. By varying frequency and amplitude over time, you get a 3-dimensional volume. Quite function-al if you ask me.
Of course, a chair is only one representation of that sound wave. By varying color instead of height with amplitude, you could have a colorful 2-D rug.
