Planetary iPad App

Robert Hodgin shared the Planetary iPad application developed over at Bloom Studios. Here's a great blog post on the project's development. The visualization from the app was used in the background at Eye night two party. If you have an iPad and a music library, this app is a great new way to explore your library, and see your listening patterns and preferences develop over time.

Comparison Between Bible and Quran, Wes Grubbs

(If anyone has a better link for this project, please let me know)
Wes Grubbs shared his Comparison Between the Bible and Quran – a visualization showing the frequency of words used in both texts. You can run a search on a specific word.

We Feel Fine

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion, in six movements by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar. The project scrapes the web for statements made "I feel ____" or "I am feeling _____." These statements, and other data regarding the source of the statement, like location are used in the We Feel Fine visualization. What is not totally obvious is that We Feel Fine has an API allowing you to connect into their database of feelings. Check it out!

The Invisible City

Wes Grubbs shared with us the process that went into making The Invisible City, a feature in Wired Magazine in November 2010. Here we see the importance of color, annotation, and the use of stream graphs/stacked bar graphs. Grubbs says a goal was to engage the audience, immediately draw people in.

Open Paths

Jer Thorp shared the Open Paths project with us at Eyeo. Preserve your data by uploading to Open Paths, and donate your data to research. An interesting response to the questions: Do we own our data? What is our data worth? How do we preserve our data?

Map Your Moves, Moritz Stefaner

Map Your Moves is a visual exploration of where New Yorkers moved in the last decade. The visualization allows you to make selections and explore trends (if any) and reasons for why people move in or out of a location. An elegant and simple way to reveal migration patterns. Data was collected from a survey broadcasted in the New York area.

Social Collider

The Social Collider reveals cross-connections between conversations on Twitter, creating beautiful, physics-reminiscent graphics of the threads of conversation. Moritz Stefaner cited this as an inspiration behind his Revisit project. Credits for Social Collider go to Karsten Schmidt and Sascha Pohflepp.

Notabilia: Visualizing Deletion Discussions on Wikipedia, Moritz Stefaner

Moritz Stefaner shared his process for designing Notabilia, a visualization of deletion discussions on Wikipedia. He shared sketches, experiments, and drafts, highlighting the need to truly explore the data in visual form. He explained how he arrived at the final format, and how the organic tree structure evolved naturally from the data.

Written Images

The first of its kind: a programmed book, featuring dynamically-created, unique images by various artists. This is re-imagining the process of book-making, "finished" artwork, and cross-media artifacts.
