LastFM cumulative graph. Last.fm Graph By ACOIL : Built with Processing. Last.fm Spring Graph. (Mouse over a circle to light up label.) This sketch first loads a Last.fm user's top 50 artists, then connects them using artist similarity data.
It then runs through every available week for that user's play data and adds those artists week by week. Once all the data has been loaded, the graph should settle down into a map with similar artists grouped together. Labels light up week by week to show a history of music listening over time.

Basically: this is a graph representation of the similarity relationships derived from the database of Last.fm . The right hand side figure is almost the same, but the edges are not drawn and musicians are represented by small coloured dust particles where the area of the particle is proportional to the popularity of the given artist.
There are many variants of these figures available for download . Notable mentions The Guardian. View all images at My 4shared folder. (1) p̏̏̏̏̏̏̏̏̏̏̏̏rin̹̘͙̩̘̬̱͉̱̑ͪͯ̊̀͟tscreen. GLITCH ART. Benjamin Edwards: Works, Projects, Archive.
