If you live in New York City, you most likely have a love/hate relationship with the subway (one that tends to wander toward "hate" more often than not). Well, Brooklynite, musician and Google Creative Labs employee Alexander Chen has created a little HTML5/Javascript art project that is sure to put a smile on your face next time you're crammed into a crazy person's armpit whilst enjoying the eclectic symphony of children crying on your morning commute. Conductor , Chen's recently released project, is an interactive subway map that pulls data from the MTA’s public API to illustrate the motions of the New York City transit system. Colored lines representing each train move across the screen in accordance with the real cars, and every time they intersect, they produce a "twang!" — like a stringed instrument. You can also "play" the map by tugging on a line with your mouse.

Posted in Tech blog on November 25th, 2010 by Pingdom Text and numbers are all good and well, but sometimes it’s nice to just be presented with a nice visual. This post is full of videos of just that, interesting visualizations of data. Being the geeks we are, they’re of course all related to the Web and the Internet. Enjoy!

Your Random Numbers – Getting Started with Processing and Data Visualization
Over the last year or so, I’ve spent almost as much time thinking about how to teach data visualization as I’ve spent working with data. I’ve been a teacher for 10 years – for better or for worse this means that as I learn new techniques and concepts, I’m usually thinking about pedagogy at the same time. Lately, I’ve also become convinced that this massive ‘open data’ movement that we are currently in the midst of is sorely lacking in educational components. The amount of available data, I think, is quickly outpacing our ability to use it in useful and novel ways. How can basic data visualization techniques be taught in an easy, engaging manner? This post, then, is a first sketch of what a lesson plan for teaching Processing and data visualization might look like.
Data visualization for the social networked impaired
I've been thinking a lot about data visualization, meaning things like the Internet version of those USA Today infographics and the data you get back from your site traffic analytics group. But data viz is not just about fancy Excel charts and animation; it's a discipline used to visualize information of any sort and it's becoming an increasingly important way to communicate with your audience. Its importance, I believe, lies in its ability to reach scale, that is, helping marketers get the biggest audience possible.datajournalism

L’une des explications de la crise que traverse l’économie mondiale vient certainement se nicher dans les modèles utilisés par ces professionnels de la finance, dont les compétences vont des mathématiques à la physique en passant par les probabilités. Un univers étrange, que les néerlandais de onesize se sont attachés à faire vivre dans le cadre d’un documentaire sur les “quants”.
