AKC Top 100 Dog Breeds in the United States – Gwynn Group. Gwynn Group — February 13, 2019 Inspired by our love of intricately beautiful data visualizations and furry friends, we decided to dabble in creating our own display of AKC’s Most Popular Dog Breeds list.
We were so passionate about this project, and so thrilled by the way it turned out, that we wanted to share every step of our journey from conceptualization to our final visualization and everything in between. *If you want to skip reading about our design process and go straight to the good stuff, scroll to the bottom for a full view of our custom visualization! The original list assembled by AKC contained 190 different breeds. We realized that trying to squeeze nearly 200 breed names onto a single graph would be an almost impossible feat in itself, not to mention whether the minuscule font size needed to label every breed would be at all legible.
Use these tools to help visualize the horror of rising sea levels. How to Spot Visualization Lies. It used to be that we’d see a poorly made graph or a data design goof, laugh it up a bit, and then carry on.

PARIS — Situated within an art-historical/art-hysterical continuum that mines big data for thematic material, Centre Pompidou’s two-part “continuum” show is Paris-based Japanese sound artist Ryoji Ikeda’s latest audiovisual cornucopia.
Part one, “A [continuum]” (2018), is a sedulous sound installation featuring five colossal Meyer SB-1 speakers with a minimalist sculptural look. The woozy, torpid sounds they transmit are based on audio samples of the many different frequencies that have defined concert pitch A over the centuries, from Bach’s era through the 1970s—thus obliquely referencing a huge swath of Western music.

Each visual biography depicts key biographical moments — births, deaths, love affairs, marriages, birth of children, travel — as well as notable and curious features like handedness (mostly righties, with the exception of Klee), astrological sign, and connections.
