Maximillian Laumeister is a software engineer and open-source software programmer. He wrote the open-source visualization app BitListen, originally known as Listen to Bitcoin[1] which Listen to Wikipedia is based on.[2] He holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science: Game Design from University of California, Santa Cruz.
BitListen
BitListen is a web application that visualizes and sonifies Bitcoin transactions.[1][3][4] Whenever a Bitcoin transaction takes place, the app produces a bubble which floats to the top of the screen, along with a note of one of several instruments.[5] Higher value transactions produce larger bubbles and lower pitched notes.[6]
Laumeister wrote the initial version of BitListen over the course of a week, as an independent project outside of college coursework.[7] According to Laumeister, the message of the project is to show that “there is beauty in the data around us, and that if we present data in the right way, it can be captivating”.[8]
