Writing Without Words: Visualizing A Book. By Maria Popova Literature as a canvas, a book as a living organism, and rhythm as a texture. London-based artist Stefanie Posavec has a gift for words.
Or for the lack thereof, to be exact. Her latest project, Writing Without Words, explores the literary world when its most important building blocks are removed by visually representing text. The project uses Jack Kerouac’s iconic On The Road and takes a number of different approaches in dissecting its content visually. Another visualization technique looks at sentences, representing them by lines organized according to the number of words per sentence and color-coded to the theme. Finally, there’s an exploration of rhythm textures — visualizing sentences by using their punctuation to create circular diagrams. So if you fancy yourself a fan of the written word and an advocate of visual literacy, now’s your chance to nail both — to your wall, that is: The work is available as on-demand posters here.

Chris Harrison - Word Spectrum. Using Google's enormous bigram dataset, I produced a series of visualizations that explore word associations. Each visualization pits two primary terms against each other. Then, the use frequency of words that follow these two terms are analyzed.
For example, "war memorial" occurs 531,205 times, while "peace memorial" occurs only 25,699. A position for each word is generated by looking at the ratio of the two frequencies. If they are equal, the word is placed in the middle of the scale. However, if there is a imbalance in the uses, the word is drawn towards the more frequently related term. To better achieve a even distribution, I normalized the frequencies of bigrams based on total primary term frequency. A new visualization looking at the same dataset has been posted. Jeff Clark has created interactive versions for Twitter and news. Warning: the visualizations use actual word frequencies from the web - foul language is present!
