Stamen:
Every now and again I stumble over Stamen, and my shiny-shiny gene
goes into gear. Stamen is a design and technology firm in San
Francisco that over the past few years has worked on a number of
inspiring projects blending disparate fields and blurring their
boundaries. As they put it, "Experimental and client work have a way
of feeding into one another: the crossover process enriches both.
Stamen doesn't believe in a clear separation between ideas and
technology, or between client work and research work."
One foundational element that seems common to much of their work is
data visualization. A lot of their dataviz work connects to maps (the
original dataviz!). A couple of their recent map projects include
PolyMaps and PrettyMaps. Older projects/clients with mapping
components include Walking Papers (navigation), Crimespotting, Hope
for Haiti, Cloudmade Maps, Hurricane Maps, Cabspotting, TravelTime,
and more. You can see the range immediately, just from titles!
PolyMaps:
"Polymaps is a free JavaScript library for making dynamic, interactive
maps in modern web browsers." PolyMaps is available for download in
both Zip and GIT file formats. It can incorporate data from
OpenStreetMap, CloudMade, Bing, and can be formatted with CSS.
PrettyMaps:
"It is an interactive map composed of multiple freely available,
community-generated data sources:
- All the Flickr shapefiles rendered as a semi-transparent white
ground on top of which all the other layers are displayed.
- Urban areas from Natural Earth both as a standalone layer and
combined with Flickr shapefiles for cities and neighbourhoods.
- Road, highway and path data collected by the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. ...
prettymaps operates very much at the edge of what the current crop of
web browsers are comfortable doing."
Social media is another theme they've worked with. Eddy is a new
Twitter visualization product from them, with earlier models or
prototypes ranging from the NBA Playoffs on Twitter through various
Flickr and Digg mashups and designs.
Eddy:
Eddy is a high-priced big-ticket product Stamen has created to "build
custom Twitter experiences quickly with simple powerful tools." It can
be used for metrics and tracking or for creating realtime interactive
audience experiences for live events. One of the barriers to
integrating Twitter on screen in live events is the possibility of
your hashtag stream being hijacked by spammers. Eddy gives you ways to
filter, control, manage, and block certain keywords in real time. It
doesn't just scroll the stream, but also provides a variety of
visualizations for your onscreen stream in what I am guessing is in a
Digg-like fashion, and thus much more engaging than most of the
Twitter visualization tools available for free.
Stamen has worked in so many areas and applied such a powerful
combination of creativity and content, that I could go on for a very
long time about how and why they inspire me.
You can find more about their work in their Everything section and
their Projects page.

Stamen: Books:
AND
Stamen has been pondering the boundaries and design of conventional
books, personal notebooks, and e-books with an eye toward trying to
create a vision for the future that incorporates the best of all of
these. What they say is:
"There’s a fluidity to digital media that’s intensely satisfying: a
sense of almost infinite malleability, multiple versions, code
proliferating across multiple variations, pieces that are different
every time you look at them... but sometimes it can get a bit
overwhelming. While we strive for a kind of engagement with
physicality in the rest of our work, there are limits to digital
media’s ability to leave anything lasting behind. It’s for limits like
this that notebooks are useful—they get filled with the physical
traces of the world instead of manipulation of the world behind the
screen. This work is not so much an antidote for a missing physicality
as it is a complement to the screen, and often a source for more
digital investigations."
What they do is to provide images that show what they imagine might be
possible. Or perhaps the images are actually generated from some
mysterious system they have yet to share with the rest of us. I don't
know. I do know that on our campus there is an initiative to imagine
alternative online textbook formats, and that this collection inspires
me to think very differently about those possibilities.
Print books preserve content in a fixed form. Digital media provide
content in a fluid form. Personal notebooks and printed books provide
space for marginalia, ponderings, explorations, doodling, expansions,
personalization, customization, criticism, carving, snipping,
repurposing, reaction, blending, transforming, connecting and much
much more.
I often sit in meetings next to a woman who seems to need to doodle to
focus and process. Her doodles are delightful visual little graphics,
very artistic and visual. Meanwhile, I am usually taking notes in a
code editor on my computer. Have you ever tried to doodle in an ASCII
editor while taking notes? It's possible, but it sure isn't very easy
and you can't really pay attention to what's going on around you. Not
to mention that there is not much of anything like handwriting in the
digital space. As I look at their images of blended book experiments
and environments, I find myself really longing for a space that allows
me the visual flexibility and personalization of taking notes by hand
on paper with the ability to share, preserve, disseminate, blend,
repurpose from digital environments. Just something to think about.
There is a lot more potential hidden in plain view in their images.
Go, look, ponder, and share YOUR thoughts about what the ideal book
could be like. Next up, adding in 3D visualizations and augmented
reality ...

I spent the weekend printing a limited edition, silk-screened print for Random Number Multiples. This print, one of two to be included in the edition, is a stylized radial graph of word usage in the New York Times. My two prints will be included in an edition with two prints from Marius Watz.
Prints are editions of 50, and will be available exclusively through Random Number for $100 each. The online store launches the first week of February and there will be an exhibition showcasing both artists’ work on February 11 in Brooklyn. It will be a great opportunity to see the screen prints framed and in person if you’re in the NY area.
Pre-orders can be placed by contacting info@randomnumber.nu

Some early tests of breaking the main tangle of dots into sub-groups.

What does the DNA of a nation look like?
This is the question I wanted to explore with my visualization of data associated with the UK's National DNA Database, which I built for the July issue of Wired UK.
The final graphic is composed of more than 5 million dots - one for each profile stored in the NDNAD. This graphic was constructed using a custom-written software program that I wrote.

Character profiles for individual Avengers characters, showing which issues they appeared in.
When the character returns after a haitus of more than 10 issues, the title of that issue is indicated.
This is a near-final version, with a different colour scheme. Also, the layout on the page is not finalized. The application that I built allows the 'hair balls' of dots to be placed anywhere on the page.

O diretor de arte Fabrício Miranda e a editora Karin Hueck, da revista Superinteressante, me convidaram pra trabalhar com eles em um projeto de visualização de dados sobre cores na história da pintura.
A ideia era representar graficamente as paletas de artistas mais representativos de cada período e, a partir disso, descobrir possíveis semelhanças entre artistas de uma mesma época, diferenças entre os períodos — e mesmo confirmar ou refutar o que teorias da arte dizem sobre essas cores.
Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci
Primeiros esboços de organização das 3 dimensões das cores: a partir da posição na imagem original, em um eixo X/Y ou em 3D.
O desafio para representar as paletas era descobrir um jeito de reorganizar as cores em uma ordem lógica. Isso é especialmente problemático em um plano 2D, já que cada cor é composta de 3 elementos: matiz, brilho e saturação — você não precisa ler o clássico de Israel Pedrosa, Da cor à cor inexistente, para descobrir isso. Basta abrir o photoshop e experimentar os controles do menu Image/Adjutments/HueSaturation para entender cada uma delas.

Até 2030, a maioria dos humanos pertencerá à classe média. Eles partilham sonhos de consumo, apenas dos níveis de renda tão diferentes.
O gráfico mostra qual é a faixa de rende que cada país considera como classe média.
É legal ver como isso muda de país pra país.
E esse dado ainda está cruzado com a população de classe média que isso representa para cada país.
