Infographic Critique: Iceland Is Out Of Orbit
A Junk Charts reader tipped us about this chart that appeared on the front page of one of their newspapers. It announced: "Iceland banks are in a universe of hurt". As we all know, Iceland is bankrupt, and all its banks are spinning out of orbit. But is this outer-space concept successful in portraying the story? We think not. Read the detailed critique below. ...

Advanced Beauty: Audio-Reactive Video Sound Sculptures
Advanced Beauty [advancedbeauty.org] is an ongoing exploration of digital artworks influenced by sound, as a collaboration between programmers, artists, musicians, animators and architects. The first artwork collection includes a series of audio-reactive video sound sculptures, as manifestations of sound, sculpted by volume, pitch or structure of the soundtrack. The films embrace unusual video ...

FLux Binary Waves: Urban Visualization Installation
fLux, binary waves [lab-au.com] is an urban visualization installation based on the measurement and real-time representation of infrastructural (passengers, cars...) and communicational (electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones, radio...) flows.

Emergence Project: Representing A Textual Discourse
The Emergence Project [emergenceproject.org] is a "software art" installation exhibited at Hyde Park Art Center's digital building facade gallery. It is based on the ideas and textual discourse that emanated out of the Chicago Humanities Festival: its presentations, performances, and panel discussions were captured, analyzed, and processed into a set of dynamic data visualizations that evolve dyn...

Geocoding Genes For Cartographic Comparisons
Guest-blogging on infosthetics.com is a tricky proposition. Since my last post the majority of things I've wanted to talk about have already been covered by our diligent host, Andrew. Thankfully I stumbled upon this gem [flickr.com] from the charts and graphs group at Flickr. It shows a 2D plot of genetic similarity across Europe, colour-coded by country, alongside a political map of Europe usin...

Chocolate Fudge Pie Chart
After the pizza box pie chart and the pie chart already eaten, now more pie chart craziness in form of a cleverly divided chocolate fudge cake [maryandmatt.net], made of out of exactly 70% milk, 20% dark and 10% white chocolate. If there is anything else in this world that is circular, eatable and proportionable, I am sure we will see it soon in form of a chart. Via Swissmiss. ...

GeoCommons: Social Geographical Mapping
What Swivel and Many Eyes is for social data visualization (minus the commenting), GeoCommons [geocommons.com] could be for geographical mapping: allowing "non-technical professionals" to view and analyze geo-located data, without the traditional GIS overhead. Relaunched a little while ago, the "Finder!" part of the service is designed to discover interesting publicly sourced datasets through...

Wooden Model Of A 3D MRI Scan
Neil Fraser, a software engineer at Google, took 9 carefully selected cross sections from a MRI scan and glued them on wooden blocks to create a 3D representative model [fraser.name]. The result is a collection of 60 1-inch cubes, of wich 94 outside faces are simply varnished, and 266 internal faces feature a square slice of the MRI images. One can then "dig" into the brain to carve out custom sh...

Behind The Screens Of Msnbc.com Election Maps
Hi, I am an interactive editor at msnbc.com who worked on the U.S. presidential election maps. Now that the election is over and I am well rested, I want to look back at what we have worked on all these months at msnbc.com. A few people wrote me asking about the process of creating a large scale project in a fast paced environment. Here is a longer answer to that question. Since this post will be...

Dutch Architecture 5 Euro Coin Design
The design of a new commemorative 5 Euro coin [pythonide.blogspot.com], also called the The Architecture Fiver, based on the subject 'Netherlands and Architecture'. In the design of artist Stani Michiels, the portrait of the Dutch Queen Beatrix is constructed with names of important Dutch architects. On the outside the names are clearly readable, while they slowly get smaller to the center. The...

Visible Sound: Graph Stitching Sewing Machine
An electronically enhanced sewing machine [soundsbutter.com], able to represent sound through the height of the stitches it creates. The resulting stitch pattern thus becomes visually similar to an equalizer timeline. Unfortunately, currently a non-working prototype only. Via SwissMiss. ...

Show World: Morphing Country Sizes By Statistics
In an approach similar to the very popular WorldMapper method, Show World adds the novel factor of animation. The online maps illustrate various census and world statistics from various non-governmental organizations by morphing the size of countries accordingly. Instead of land mass, the size of each country represents the data for that subject, both its share of the total and absolute value. ...

Google Flu Trends: Tracking Flu Across The U.S.
Google has discovered a close relationship between how many people search for flu-related topics online, and how many people actually have flu symptoms, by comparing their query data with data from the surveillance system managed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Of course, not every person who searches for "flu" is actually sick, but a pattern emerges when all the flu...

Amazon Windowshop: 3D Shopping Interface
Amazon Windowshop [windowshop.com] is another 3D online shopping interface that enables the "immersive" exploration of movies, music and more, without the use of text. The navigation reminds me a bit of TiltViewer. For more Amazon shopping interfaces, also check out Zoomii Visual Amazon Store, Amazon book map, Map Amazon, AmazNode, Oskope Amazon graphs and Viewzi book view. ...
