bspw. ANT Censuses of the Internet Address Space: https://ant.isi.edu/address/ | Almost optimal way to take a 1-dimensional array of bytes, and arrange them in 2 dimensions, such that bytes that are close together in a single dimension are also close in two dimensions
The simulation, which took 75 days to create on a supercomputer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, depicts CO2 emissions from May 2005 to June 2007.
Entropy analysis examines the statistical variation in malware executables, enabling analysts to quickly and efficiently identify packed and encrypted samples.
Wolfram is most interested in looking for signals about how a person and their life changes over time, and Facebook data provides plenty. | shorter: http://www.technologyreview.com/view/514186/lifes-trajectory-seen-through-facebook-data/
Molekulare Maschinen des Körpers, u.a. "DNS-Kopiermaschinen" -- We have no ways to directly observe molecules and what they do -- Drew Berry wants to change that. At TEDxSydney he shows his scientifically accurate (and entertaining!) animations that help researchers see unseeable processes within our own cells.
"Emotional Cartography is a collection of essays from artists, designers, psychogeographers, cultural researchers, futurologists and neuroscientists, brought together by Christian Nold, to explore the political, social and cultural implications of visualising intimate biometric data and emotional experiences using technology" - http://www.biomapping.net/ - 18min/160MB-Video: http://www.archive.org/download/BioMapping/BioMapping.mp4
s.a. TED.com Blaise Aguera y Arcas; "[P.] takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and then displays the photos in a reconstructed three-dimensional space, showing you how each one relates to the next"
"Worldprocessor is an ongoing project that started in 1988. Globes reflect data available and valid at the time of their origin. Currently there are over 300 different globes."
Grenze = keine stabile Linie um nationale Territorien, sondern sozialer und diskursiver Aushandlungsraum, in dem transnationale Bewegungen von Migranten wie die Politiken staatlicher Akteure vorkommen => adäquate Beschreibungs- und Darstellungsverfahren dieser Realität?
"...intends to be a unified resource space for anyone interested in the visualization of complex networks. The project's main goal is to leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods..."
The visualization shows the history of commits in the Eclipse, Apache, PostgreSQL and Python project. Developers and files are represented as moving elements. When a developer commits a file, it lights up and flies towards that developer.
The real-time city is now real! The increasing deployment of sensors and hand-held electronics in recent years is allowing a new approach to the study of the built environment.
