Photo of a Man on Sunset Drive: 1914, 2008
by: Richard Blanco
And so it began: the earth torn, split open
by a dirt road cutting through palmettos
and wild tamarind trees defending the land
against the sun. Beside the road, a shack
leaning into the wind, on the wooden porch,
crates of avocados and limes, white chickens
pecking at the floor boards, and a man
under the shadow of his straw hat, staring
into the camera in 1914. He doesn't know
within a lifetime the unclaimed land behind
him will be cleared of scrub and sawgrass,
the soil will be turned, made to give back
what the farmers wish, their lonely houses
will stand acres apart from one another,
jailed behind the boughs of their orchards.
He'll never buy sugar at the general store,
mail love letters at the post office, or take
a train at the depot of the town that will rise
out of hundred-million years of coral rock
on promises of paradise. He'll never ride
a Model-T puttering down the dirt road
that will be paved over, stretch farther and
farther west into the horizon, reaching for
the setting sun after which it will be named.
He can't even begin to imagine the shadows
of buildings rising taller than the palm trees,
the street lights glowing like counterfeit stars
dotting the sky above the road, the thousands
who will take the road everyday, who'll also
call this place home less than a hundred years
after the photograph of him hanging today
in City Hall as testament. He'll never meet
me, the engineer hired to transform the road
again, bring back tree shadows and birdsongs,
build another promise of another paradise
meant to last another forever. He'll never see
me, the poet standing before him, trying
to read his mind across time, wondering if
he was thinking what I'm today, both of us
looking down the road that will stretch on
for years after I too disappear into a photo.

A more complete version of my UN general assembly voting visualization. Each line is a country. Red lines are Africa, Green are Europe, Blue are Asia, Orange are N. America, Yellow are S. America, Purple are Oceania. A yes vote makes the line continue on a tight curve around the centre, a no vote puts them into a spiral farther from the centre, and an abstain or absence makes the line go straight out from the centre. Every absence reduces the alpha of the line by 10, so countries like the Central African Republic, which never show up, quickly vanish.
This visualization shows 1 million Manga pages sorted by their visual characteristics.
Software: imagej macro written by Lev Manovich
X = standard deviation
Y = entropy
this produces the following map:
horizontal dimension:
the pages on the left progressively haver fewer grey values; the pages on the right have a both black and white
vertical dimension:
pages at the bottom have only black and white
pages on the top have more grey / more detail / more realism
------------------
As we can see, the stylistic space of Manga does not have any distinct clusters. Visualization allows us to describe such a space much better than discrete linguistic categories.
The two visual features chosen for this visualization describe only some dimensions of visual style in Manga - however in terms of these dimensions, we can state this:
the concept of "style" (as a set of distinct categories used to describe a set of objects) may turn out to be meaningless
then we analyze enough objects, their variability can be better described using a continuous function
(our present research in Manga user-generated genre tags is suggesting that the same may apply for genre categories)
therefore visualization is a better language for describing cultural variability than natural languages
---------------
Note that some of the pages - such as all covers - are in color. However in order to be able to render image at this size (the original is 44,000x44,000 pixels - scaled to 10,000x10,000 for posting to Flickr), we rendered everything in grey scale.
Finally, because pages are rendered on top of each other, you don't actually see 1 million of distinct pages - rather visualization shows a distribution of all pages with typical examples appearing on the top.
This is another interactive visual analysis tool constructed for the Local Experiences of Automobility project. It consists of two primary views on the data--the upper timeline, showing all the drives that a participant made during the study period, and a collection of three timelines showing the details about the drive.

BABY JET is an underground magnet (maglev) train that can exceed Mach 1 traveling through a vacuum tunnel. Trains running every two minutes interconnect Europe’s cities like a subway system. BABY JET’s energy balance sheet is sensational: virtually no friction; hardly any air resistance; braking energy fed back into the system to power the next acceleration—just like a Porsche.

Os Lusíadas is a Portuguese epic poem by Luís Vaz de Camões first printed in 1572.
The poem consists of ten cantos and 1102 stanzas.
At the left are the ten most frequent words in the poem by descending order of occurence.
This piece showcase one of those ten words.
Above is an area that directly represents the frequency of that word in each canto.
Each canto has a corresponding list of the ten most frequent words in that canto sorted by descending order of occurrence.
The length of the vertical lines for each canto represents its extension in number of verses.
