Explorable Explanations Bret Victor / March 10, 2011 What does it mean to be an active reader? An active reader asks questions, considers alternatives, questions assumptions, and even questions the trustworthiness of the author. Do our reading environments encourage active reading? Explorable Explanations is my umbrella project for ideas that enable and encourage truly active reading. This essay presents examples of few initial ideas: A reactive document allows the reader to play with the author's assumptions and analyses, and see the consquences. An explorable example makes the abstract concrete, and allows the reader to develop an intuition for how a system works. Contextual information allows the reader to learn related material just-in-time, and cross-check the author's claims. As always, if any of this inspires you to play around with these concepts, I'd love to see what you come up with. 1. Ten Brighter Ideas was my early prototype of a reactive document. Here is a more simplistic example of the same concept.

An Overview of the Euro Crisis - Interactive Graphic Arrows show imbalances of debt exposure between borrowers in one country and banks in another; arrows point from debtors to their bank creditors. Arrow widths are proportional to the balance of money owed. For example, French borrowers owe Italian banks $50.6 billion; Italian borrowers owe French banks $416.4 billion. The difference — their imbalance — shows France's banking system more exposed to Italian debtors by about $365.8 billion. The risk to countries’ debts and economies is indicated by color: More worrisome Greece amassed a huge debt that it has scant hope of repaying. If there is no firewall or if it is inadequate, it would be easy to imagine a run on banks. If no preventative measures are taken, a chain of events like this could unfold: In reaction to a Greek collapse, investors become worried about their exposure to other risks in the region. Italy may not be able to protect its banks if there is a loss of confidence.

Neatline.org | plot your course in space & time Lostalgic Lostalgic This project is based on the entire ABC's LOST TV show scripts, 115 episodes in 7 seasons, that I managed to parse from Lostpedia. I also parsed this page with additional information about hidden characters relations. My aim for this project is not (only) to visualize some properties and patterns out of the script but actually to allow to read and enjoy the series in a different way. I plan to add new views (will inform through twitter), more aimed to reveal global patterns in the script, and I will include cliffhangers and writing teams information. Find more information about Lostalgic in this great article and interview by Greg J. This project is dedicated to the Lost writers, to the open culture and, in particular, to the community that built Lostpedia. created by Santiago Ortiz

Wind Map An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind.

dis-moi où tu me plaîs Carte Graphe dis-moi où tu me plaîs exploration des annonces du site croisedanslemetro.com Pierre JdlF a mis tout ça sur Github avec des explications irrationnelles recherche Sélectionner une station Map your moves Data This map distills more than 4000 moves from over 1700 people, collected in an informal survey by WNYC, a New York based public radio station. For generating the geo–coordinates from the entered ZIP codes, I used the free bulk geocoder at gpsvisualizer.com. I did not check every single data row in detail, so a few of the moves might be misrepresented. Mapping As most moves occurred from, to or within the New York area, this area displayed enlarged in the white circle at the center of the graphic. Visual markers Each circle corresponds to one zip code area. Actually, it is consists of two overlaid circles: a red one for people moving out of the area, and a blue one for people moving to the area. Interaction Click one of the circles to inspect only moves to or from this area. Details On the right, you can find some statistics on why and when people moved to the selected areas.

Public/Private Public/Private is a game that explores the topic of privacy in our cities by focusing on where we find it. By choosing where in your city you seek privacy most often, you produce a visual graph representing those choices. Your graph is then combined with graphs generated by the rest of the global audience, creating a live data-visualization that illustrates how our experience of privacy changes at a local and global level. As more participants play Public/Private, more of the complexities of privacy in urban settings are illuminated. This game was created to accompany two ongoing research projects undertaken by the BMW Guggenheim Lab in Mumbai in cooperation with Partners for Urban Knowledge, Action & Research (PUKAR) and the Design Cell at the Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA). The game experience for Public/Private was designed and developed by Collective Assembly and Tom van de Velde.

Audio Room I can't get data from your microphone. Have you enabled Web Audio Input in Credit where it's due: the look and feel of this demo is heavily inspired by the talented Robert Hodgin's EYEO demos. Go and look, they are so nice! Gapminder: Unveiling the beauty of statistics for a fact based world view. Poetry on the Road 2004 As Poetry 03 is line-based, it was almost a logical step to think about shapes when it came to designing Poetry 04. In Poetry 04, every poem is visualised as a cluster of polygons, while every polygon represents a single word. The exact shape of each polygon is based on the statistical allocation of letters within a language. If a letter has a very high frequency in the language, its impact on the overall shape of the polygon is very strong. A common structure in many languages are alternating vowels and consonants. As there are only a few vowels, their frequency in a text is much higher. Based on these simple rules, a computer program was created that turned 20 poems into a complex, three-dimensional space.
