So great - a woman near Munich hand knitted a scarf showing train delays on her commute throughout the year. A frustration visualization... (via @Vykos) https://t.co/6A4BZrEbYD

"What do I believe in? Imagination, gardens, science, poetry, love and a variety of nonviolent consolations. I suspect that in aggregate all this isn't enough, but it's where I am for now." - Teju Cole

OK, so 12 species in total from #NudibranchCamp Day 1. Here's Denronotus subramosus, which has 6 pairs of multi-branching gill tufts. pic.twitter.com/5kEn05yZQB

Herald/Harbinger is a permanent public artwork, and a kind of living wake for the Bow Glacier. 24/7 the piece relays live data from the glacier into the middle of Downtown Calgary: https://t.co/pbr5Qlybi0

You Say Data, I Say System

An over-simplified and dangerously reductive diagram of a data system might look like this

Collection → Computation → Representation

Whenever you look at data — as a spreadsheet or database view or a visualization, you are looking at an artifact of such a system. What this diagram doesn’t capture is the immense branching of choice that happens at each step along the way. As you make each decision — to omit a row of data, or to implement a particular database structure or to use a specific colour palette you are treading down a path through this wild, tall grass of possibility. It will be tempting to look back and see your trail as the only one that you could have taken, but in reality a slightly divergent you who’d made slightly divergent choices might have ended up somewhere altogether different. To think in data systems is to consider all three of these stages at once, but for now let’s look at them one at a time.

Exo: A Visualization of Kepler's Exoplanet Candidates

JOANIE LEMERCIER & JAMES GINZBURG

Met BLPRNT vertalen Lemercier en Ginzburg het immateriële van de ruimte, van de architectuur en van het verbond tussen beiden, naar een choreografie van constructieve elementen. Het centrum van de installatie is een monolithische toren, geflankeerd door twee grote schermen en omgeven door geluid en beeld. Gezamenlijk vertellen zij in een sequentie van 15 minuten het verhaal van de kosmos en de architectuur met een anamorphose als hoogtepunt.
