Google's auto-complete - an incidental feature but always hilariously revealing about the deep concerns of the group mind.
I had a go at visualizing the query “How do I get my girlfriend / boyfriend to…” using the sweet tool Web Seer. See what you think.

It fascinates me to be aware of the fact that I can look at a visualization of mine, anytime. The surreal nature of such visualization becomes so real that it blurs the boundaries between a vision and (reality?), until we become stuck in a loop of not knowing when to wake up or when to believe.
Arranged in a matrix, the visualizations of the food data are structured from Simple to Complex [Axis 1 Left to Right] and Literal to Abstract [Axis 2 Top to Bottom].
This matrix was installed as part of the thesis presentation. Users are encouraged to document their interaction with the matrix using an "Experience Card" tracking which one they saw first, looked at the longest, thought was the most effective and thought was the least effective.
The idea of the matrix is create a live space for comparison and contrast of the different methods of visualization. When viewed one at a time, the human memory is unable to recall enough data from previous images to create a truly effective comparison.
Each image has a note attached that links to the full size version of that visualization. If they are driving you crazy, hover anywhere off of the image and lines disappear, or click on the image to go into another view with no notes. See it super large scale by viewing other sizes.

This movie presents a visualization of the star-forming region known as S106. This unique three-dimensional view illustrates and emphasizes that many of the objects contained within astronomical images are not at the same distance, but, in fact, spread across light-years of space. The Hubble image is augmented with additional field-of-view from the Subaru Infrared Telescope. The stars and the lobes of glowing gas from the Hubble/Subaru two-dimensional image have been separated and sculpted using both scientific knowledge and artistic interpretation to create the depth in the movie. The relative distances between stars and the nebula have been greatly compressed. The format of this movie is a standard "2D" presentation and does not require a 3D screen or 3D glasses.

In order to visualize the theme of insecurity in the whole educational field we firstly ran a deep analysis of the different schoolastic paths that an Italian student can walk from his/her first years to his/her entrance in the work market. We noticed that most of their choices are made after the high school, deciding for a job or an Univeristy, and facing the different courses option. Our choice to focus on public education is related to the shortage of information given from our sources about the private institutes.
The fragmented appearance of the visualization, its formless global image, reflects the confusion in which data are treated and offered from miur (the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research) and istat (the most important and authoritative Italian statistics institute).
The first part of our visualization tries to show the complex relationships system (economic, didactical and decision-making flows) that makes possible the existence of the whole Public University System. In the second part we analysed the different academic paths from starting University to obtaining a master degree and in which way and misure academic careers are related to the real work world.
We also wanted to point out the precariousness of the academic situation and, as a consequence, how our visualization is logically correct only in the present. Our representation could not tell the same story in the next future; currently a lot of changes regarding the whole educational system have being discussed by the Parliament for an important reform proposed by the Minister Mariastella Gelmini (anyway we are not sure for how long she will be our Minister).
As a conclusion of this period of research and design, we face an unsolved question: is it possible that employement possibilities are the only factor that influences students’ choices?

Hydrogen accounts for about 74 percent of the normal matter in the Universe. This visualization shows the electron clouds of hydrogen through the probability density function when the principal quantum number, N, is between 1 and 4. The probability density illustrates where the electron is most likely to be found if measured, red indicates high probability, blue indicates low probability.

Within the two week data period, Art is number one seller on the front page of Etsy, followed closely by Jewelry. Accessories and Paper Goods are nearly even, with the fifth most popular category being Bath & Beauty.
The most multiple quantity purchases are in the Toys category (my favorite statistic). Supplies is found at no. 8. Supplies is currently the number one selling category overall on Etsy but is ranked low in this graph probably because Supplies are seldom featured on the front page.
Errata: the second, smaller 'Toys' category is mislabeled, it should actually be 'Patterns'.
www.etsy.com is a marketplace to buy and sell handmade goods and is a company I helped co-found in June 2005.
A sad proportion of “art/science” illustrations are more show than tool, evoking but not helping to explain the phenomena that are supposed to be their subjects. This map and variations on it are a distinct counterpoint: they are used daily as a tool by Dick Klavans to determine such things as which areas of science are most closely connected to one another, are most and least intellectually vital, or which scientific areas produce the most patents. Here’s an image on which he and I collaborated (again, with Kevin Boyack’s help & ISI’s data) that discusses the variations in how different nations pursue science.

The visualization illustrates, using official data exclusively, the Italian employment evolution from 2004 to 2010, comparing employed, unemployed and inactive population of the country, with the due subdivisions. The minimum and maximum peaks are underlined in order to faster understand the situation during the considered period of time. In the last part data from 2010 are compared to those of the other European countries. Moreover, we have made a focus about the 15-34 years old population, analyzing the available data and reproducing, through the metaphor of the solar system, the actors system, the flows, the relationships through which each actor faces, in order to represent the dynamics against which they come up, through their journey from education conclusion or abandon to employment, with all the possibilities in-between and until the retirement moment.
Observing the infographics in its entirety, it emerges that in Italy the work force decreases, against the increase of the over-64 population, that needs the support of the welfare state.

The national health care system aims to improve the health and lives of citizens through care activities, education and prevention. Italy has a publically owned health system, offering a high level of training for people involved in the medical, nursing and research and technology fields.
These principals emerge in comparison with other countries from outside the European Union.
The professionalism of the system is reflected in the quality of the infrastructure and services offered. Are we dealing with a National Health care system or are we dealing with Regional or Local health care systems? Our research is born from these questions and attempts to describe the economic/welfare issues that revolve around this topic. Through analysis of the data, supported by the National Insitute of Statistics, we have mapped out a logical path, that describes the proposed offer made by the public service comparing investments, infrastructure and guaranteed benefits.
We have then moved onto the user's requests, focusing our interest in particular on the perception of the Health service and the most common types of diseases to discover the causes and connections and the complexity that surrounds them. The emerging reality reveals the presence of multiple health systems, with deep territorial differences, at a regional and even provincial level. The overall picture of the system is one of a system structurally complex and fragmented, that is not always clear in its interactions and communications with citizens.

This project starts from the analysis of the data provided by the institutional bodies (Home Oce and ISTAT) in the field of public safety and from the desire to represent the theme of physical security as is socially treated. Ocial sources deal with this topic considering a purely legal side: provided data are those related to the reported crimes' type and number, related to the place in which they are committed and relative criminal actions. The reference year is 2005, the most “recent” for which it is possible to establish a cross-comparison between data. The project was developed, on one hand, in order to show the judicial apparatus' functioning and numerical data about crime, on the other hand, to highlight all the elements missing in social analysis, which are though very important to understand the complexity of the topic. The city is structured on the political and social hierarchy: the state, institutions, citizens. In this context, relations between the parties and their influence on physical safety are therefore perceived. In order to represent the classes of crimes and the system of convictions and sentences, the metaphor of Dante's Inferno has been chosen. At the same time, the image of an underground machine, consisting of pipes and gears, explains the criminal justice process' stages, showing its complexity. Where, therefore, insecurity creeps into? In the amount of citizen who decide not to press charges, in the disproportion between the reported crimes and the convicted criminals, in weakness and finally in the imposed penalties, in a panorama that shows difficult paths and seems to tell to those who have to deal with it: “All hope abandon, ye who enter here”.

This visualization shows the wave functions of hydrogen when the principal quantum number, N, is between 1 and 4. The wave function is the solution of the Schrödinger equation and describes the electron in its wave form. Yellow and red colors show positive, while blue and purple denote negative values. Its complex square is the probability density, which actually shows where the electron might be found in the atom when measured.

1534 vehicles, during October 2009 in Lisbon, leaving route trails and condensed in one single day.
Rapid arteries are drawn with greenish and cooler colors, while the sluggish ones are reddish and hotter. Nevertheless, traffic intensity is mapped in the thickness and brightness of the arteries.
The white dots represent the vehicles themselves, and there is a visual emphasis on the areas with slowest traffic.

OpenCalais is a web service that aims to enable the semantic web. You can send it any unstructured text, and it will return you a list of elements: people, countries, organizations, etc. Perhaps most interestingly, it attempts to extract relationships, which allows us to get a glimpse of more than just the top-level structure of the text.
I've built a tool in Processing which will take any text source and build a 'content map' showing these elements and relations.

Vizualization of "Management of Complexity":
We call a technical system complex (in contrast to complicated) if it is impossible (due to the networked interaction of its components) to predict the behavior of the whole system, even if you know exactly how each of the system components behave.
The sculpture visualizes a complex system which consists of a network of simple
components. The sculpture is designed in a way that there exists no single angle of view which would allow you to see all components - some are always hidden by others.
This brings to my mind a visit of the famous Chinese gardens in Suzhou, where my colleague Tang Bao explained to me that these gardens are designed in a way that the garden always looks perfectly composed from all the infinitely many angles of view along the path leading through it.

This is a visualization of the frequency of the words 'iran' and 'iraq' in New York Times articles since 1981.
This visualization reads like a clock. You can see the Iran Contra Affair at about 2:30. The first gulf war is at about 4pm. The second Iraq invasion is the biggest spike starting at about 9:30, continuing up until the current day (midnight).
Interestingy, Iran (in red) shows a large increase in activity in the months leading up to the end of 2008.

Visualizing the chemical composition of the Sun's photosphere, which is possible to measure mainly through spectroscopy, is difficult, because it is mostly made of hydrogen (73.7%) and helium (24.9%) by mass, 92% and 7.8% by the number of atoms respectively.
Here, instead of showing it in a logarithm scale, I chose to scale the volume of each sphere according to the mass each element relative to the total mass. This way it is still possible to show the least abundant elements compared to hydrogen.
The mass of each element in the Sun's photosphere is printed in the bottom right corner in parts per billion by mass.
