"Come creare un'infografica" movies you should watch before you die - a list by Chris1660 La carte du monde par anamorphose On vous avait présenté il y’a quelques temps la carte de France par anamorphose de la SNCF. Le “Telegraph” vient de publier une série de cartes du monde par anamorphose pour divers type de données, permettant de se rendre compte de la place d’un pays et/ou d’une région géographique vis à vis des autres petits copains. On a par exemple ici des cartes présentant l’utilisation des transports (train, avions et 2 roues), le tourisme, la consommation d’alcool, les émissions de CO2…etc…en tout et pour tout 18 cartes instructives et passionnantes (certaines sont assez angoissantes quand même…) pour les fous de cartographie ! Voici un petite sélection : La vrai carte du monde (petit rappel) Les destinations touristiques (un peu chauviniste…) : Le nombre d’armes nucléaires (guerre froide vous avez dit ?) Consommation d’alcool (allez les bleus ! Et pour finir, la baisse des émissions de CO2 entre 1980 et 2000…étonnant ! La suite par ici ! Merci à Thierry pour la trouvaille !

50 Great Examples of Data Visualization Wrapping your brain around data online can be challenging, especially when dealing with huge volumes of information. And trying to find related content can also be difficult, depending on what data you’re looking for. But data visualizations can make all of that much easier, allowing you to see the concepts that you’re learning about in a more interesting, and often more useful manner. Below are 50 of the best data visualizations and tools for creating your own visualizations out there, covering everything from Digg activity to network connectivity to what’s currently happening on Twitter. Music, Movies and Other Media Narratives 2.0 visualizes music. Liveplasma is a music and movie visualization app that aims to help you discover other musicians or movies you might enjoy. Tuneglue is another music visualization service. MusicMap is similar to TuneGlue in its interface, but seems slightly more intuitive. Digg, Twitter, Delicious, and Flickr Internet Visualizations

Architecture Infographics While The WA100, Building Design’s annual ranking of the world’s largest architecture firms, isn’t perfect (see our controversial article here), it does reveal a lot about the state of architecture today. And for 2013, the research shows that there are finally brighter days ahead for architects – just not at home. BD’s research reveals that China remains the world’s largest construction market (a title it’s held since 2010); that the Asia-Pacific Market is expected to be the largest by 2020 (with projected value of $4.6 trillion dollars); and that China, India, and Brazil offer the best growth potential for architectural services. Not surprisingly, the survey’s top three ranking firms – Aecom, Gensler, and IBI Group – all have a significant presence in these markets. However, are these mega-firms really the best models to aspire to? With the economic crisis making it everyday more evident that there are more opportunities abroad than at home, where is a firm to go? Almost certainly not.

The 52 Most Anticipated Movies of 2013 - Part 5 Just yesterday, a friend of mine posted a message to her unborn child on Facebook, saying that if the little bugger came a week before the due date and ruined her chance to see Star Trek Into Darkness, there would be consequences. That’s dedication. It’s also the kind of excitement we just can’t keep bottled when we look at the upcoming slate of potential greatness lying ahead. Every year, after shoving the last 365 days into every taxonomy possible, we like to look optimistically toward the future — stretching our gaze to the fresh hope of a new cinema season where there is at least one movie a week to look forward to. At least statistically speaking. But more than that, this list of 52 most anticipated movies represents the mindset of Film School Rejects itself. Go grab your calendar. 52. Release: December 25th 51. Release: TBA The Hook: Brandon Cronenberg‘s first feature proves that he’s obsessed with some of the same things his filmmaker father is.

Карта Интернета Infographically Enhanced Observation Deck at Zurich Airport The physical environment around the new 250-meter-long "Observation Deck B" [artcom.de] at Zurich Airport has been infographically enhanced by German interaction design studio ART+COM. Several media installations and interactive exhibits enable visitors to learn new insights about the airport and its activities on the tarmac. The most magical addition consists of a set of see-through telescopes that overlay context-aware information on top of the live image, offering useful information about airport buildings and any airplanes that appear in view.

Amazing Underrated Obscure Bizarre Films PART 11 list I really dig this IMDB plot summary, it paints a mysterious picture to get you interested while not giving away anything crucial, it's like a good trailer: A psychiatrist, Richard Burton, investigates the savage blinding of six horses with a metal spike in a stable in Hampshire, England. The atrocity was committed by an unassuming seventeen-year-old stable boy named Alan Strang, the only son of an opinionated but inwardly-timid father and a genteel, religious mother. As Dysart exposes the truths behind the boy's demons, he finds himself face-to-face with his own.

The Google Map of the 19th Century - Megan Garber - Technology It seems like the quintessentially contemporary phenomenon: the pedestrian, walking along, distracted from his surroundings by the glow of the map in his smartphone. But there have been some oblivious palm-gazers, it turns out, since long before Steve Jobs came along. In London, during the Great Exhibition of 1851, the merchant George Shove designed a ladylike accessory that would allow its wearer to navigate, discreetly and easily, the fair's Hyde Park environs. The proto-mobile map! Subtle and delightful! Alas -- for both ladies of London and for fans of quirky tech -- "as far as we know, the glove was never produced commercially," notes the UK National Archives's Andrew Janes. The "handy map" idea lived on, though: In the early 20th century, some especially sprawl-y cities began to publicize their geographical wonders with maps that were, wittily and a little bit weirdly, drawn on hands.
