My son Alex, as he practices his baseball swing on deck in Cooperstown NY, August 2012.

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.

Graphed in this image are all the items that were featured on the front page then sold within the day. It was generated from data spanning the last two weeks of September 2007 using a program written in Flash AS3.

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.

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.

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.

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 image visualizes the discovery of asteroids from 1801 to 2020. The Solar System is shown in a logarithmic scale to allow both the main asteroid belt and Kuiper objects to be shown. Asteroids are shown in the position of their perihelion. This makes it easier to separate the various families.

 

I also plotted the histogram of how many minor planets were discovered each year, the semi-major axis, and excentricity on the right panels. The left panels show the excentricity and inclination as a function of semi-major axis, this is again to show how the various asteroid families were defined based on their orbits.

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.

In the centre of Iceland, on a mountain road called Kjalvegur, there is a unspoiled and protected area called Hveravellir (hot spring plains). Wich is a popular tourist place all the year round.

Kjalvegur usually opens in the middle of June and it remains open until September or October, but it depends on the weather.

 

Hveravellir is one of the many amazing natural resources in Iceland. Its positioned between two glaciers, Langjökull and Hofsjökull. The hot spring area, natural hot pool, glaciers and magnificiant view are the main attractions.

 

At Hveravellir there are both steam and water hot springs. Amongst them there are Eyvindahver (Eyvindur´s hot spring), Bláhver (blue hot spring) and on picture Öskurhólshver (roaring mound hot spring). Eyvindahver draws its name from Fjalla-Eyvindur, who was a famous outlaw that survived twenty years in the rough wilderness. He lived about two years with his wife at Hveravellir and still today you can find Eyvindarhellir (Eyvindur´s cave) and Eyvindarrétt (Eyvindur´s pen where he kept his sheeps).

 

After a long day of taking picture you can relax in the natural hot pool, which is placed near one the huts.

 

Kindly remember to vive this picture in large scale :)

The visualizations you can see here, has been realized collecting all the Wikipedia's pages created and modified during the project by Fondazione Cariplo-Artgate. Starting from this list, using the history function of Wikipedia we collected data about all the edits on a page, and using a user list we could recognize which of them are performed the Wikipedia's tutors of the project. Similarly we collected all the data about the uploads on Wikimedia Commons, mostly images. Read more about this project here www.densitydesign.org/research/share-your-knowledge-mappi...

Drupal modules as of 11/9/07

 

Full-sized, legible photo can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=2007464793&size=o

 

Linkable version here: www.kentbye.com/files/drupal_modules_all.html

 

This photo set contains the 5 smaller printable sections.

 

These linkable Cheat Sheets are here:

www.kentbye.com/files/drupal_modules_part5.html

 

I created this graphic because I felt overwhelmed with how many Drupal modules were out there, and I wanted to have a single cheat sheet that I could print out and reference. But this proved to be impossible, and it took me splitting up this massive photo into 5 subsections listed above in order to legibly print out all of the modules -- all of the modules as of November 9th, 2007 that is. (There's been another 20+ new projects created since then according to http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/14/0).

 

A couple of technical points: The modules are color coded according to the 30 categories listed here: http://drupal.org/project/Modules

 

Also this massive graphic actually has repeating modules in the sense that if a module is in three different categories, then it'll be listed 3 different times.

 

There were also 36 projects that weren't categorized and inadvertently left out of this big graphic, but were included in part 5 of the cheat sheet -- along with the project pages that have been created without a release, projects w/ deprecated HEAD or pre-4.7.x releases & CVS namespaces that don't have a current project page.

 

Finally, this listing doesn't take into consideration the fact that many Drupal project releases actually contain multiple modules within them. For example, the Drupal for Facebook module is actually composed of 9 modules.

 

UPDATE: The 30 MB excel file that contains the raw data used to generate these visualizations has been uploaded to scribd.com
