Great explanations are unfortunately scarce, but UUorld makes them easier to achieve through interactive four-dimensional maps. Our solution has three simple parts: We think you'll find four-dimensional mapping delivers results because the medium exposes the spatial and temporal context inherent to nearly all data. Dear Friends, We’ve spent the last year involved in several interesting projects, gathering information on new uses of data visualization and collaborating with industry leaders to design UUorld 2.0 … and now we are pleased to announce that we’re starting its development! We’re going to build a new, better version of our software: we’ll upgrade our data ... continue reading »

Blog : Visualizing Weather Patterns in Mathematica 7
January 13, 2009 — Ulises Cervantes-Pimentel , Senior Kernel Developer Weather visualizations are very interesting—there are television channels that thrive by showing nothing else. Online, there are several sources for specific maps of current weather conditions. Generally these are produced and maintained by government agencies or other large organizations. But with Mathematica 7 , you can easily produce completely customizable weather visualizations on your own computer.

He worked on the data mining aspects of the project, while I made visualizations of this data. This set's images are design process sketches from the project.

Hello, you are probably here because you earnestly clicked on a link to some writing archived on this site. I've built a new site and still have to figure out what to do with my blog archives – I suggest jumping back to the landing page and navigating the available content from there.
This website aims to present the results of the ongoing research on a cartographic approach to the representation of knowledge in its present configurations. The aim of the research is to extend the cartographic metaphor beyond visual analogy, and to expose it as a narrative model and tool to intervene in complex, heterogeneous, dynamic realities, just like those of human geography. The map, in this context, is not only a passive representation of reality but a tool for the production of meaning. The map is thus a communication device : a mature representation artefact, aware of its own language and its own rhetoric, equipped with it its own tools, languages, techniques and supports. A model that recovers the narrative abilities of pre-scientific maps and presents itself not as a mere mimetic artefact, but as a poetic and political tool The map as narration is thus the expression of a communicative purpose.

Came across densitydesign’s images on flickr and was really fascinated by the visualizations presented there. Density Design is a research framework and an experimental laboratory, born as a laboratory course in the final year of the Master Degree Course in Communication Design at the Politecnico di Milano. One of their recent projects was on social conditions and poverty in Italy. Some of the visualizations that were created in the course of this project resemble Sankey diagrams, and this is why I thought I should share them with you.
