JESSICA PETER: The sculpture
is called PRESENCE,
it's inspired by a
wheat field being
inspired by the morning sun.
And so I wanted to take a
little piece of that inspiration
that you see in the morning
and really bring it indoors
so that we could benefit
from the moment with the data
on a sculptural piece.
The data is coming from four bee
hives on the SAS Cary Campus.
It's equipped with
IoT sensors that
capture the weight and
the internal temperature
on 10-minute intervals.
The data is collected using
SAS Event Stream Processing
and those are combined together
using SAS Access and PROC SQL.
And once it's all combined,
there are other SAS
applications that are used
to cleanse the data --
SAS Data Preparation, SAS
Data Quality, and SAS Studio -
to get that data in a shape we
can use it for the sculpture.
What I hope people take away
from PRESENCE, the sculpture,
is that they get a
sense of what data can
be beyond what the expected is.
And I hope that they
find it beautiful,
I hope that they
find it inspiring,
and I hope it helps them
understand that there's
this whole world of
data stories out there
that can be told in unexpected
and delightful ways.
CAMERA MAN: That's beautiful.
That's perfect.
