Asking here because y'all seem to be a creative bunch...
This summer I'm teaching a new course at the Rare Book School in Charlottesville, VA (L-160. Digital Codicology & Book History) and one aspect of the course I'm particularly excited about is "creative visualizations of bibliographical data," which on other platforms is tagged #DHmakes (DH = digital humanities; this is the creative visualization of data in general, not bibliographical data specifically).
I'm looking for examples. You're probably familiar with things like climate blankets, knitted blankets where every stitch indicates the temperature on a specific day, and as the blanket grows you can see the temperature change over time.
So, like that, but for books.
My own work is up at the top of this post, that's the quire structure of a book of hours color coded with the text and cross-stitched. I want more examples like this. Is this something you've done, or seen? Please let me know, and share widely!
