This is a bit wonky, but very good in giving you some idea of which things matter with regards to climate emissions and which don’t make all that much of a difference.
E.g. new energy breakthrough (fusion power): no difference. Population: +-0.1°
Happy and honored to give a virtual keynote at the #CrossingFonds Symposium next week in Vancouver/online!
I will speak about conceptual analogues as a versatile vehicle to aid transdisciplinary collaboration in the intersecting contexts of #archives, #visualization and #design.
I've been thinking about the power of visualization lately. It is great to have goals and dreams, but I think it's more likely you reach them if you can really visualize yourself the way you are working to be.
I have started meditating on these visualizations, and it has really started to motivate me.
I'm looking for software, that visualises a digital music collection like a CD shelf.
I would like a GUI where you can look through your digital collection like you would with your physical one.
Does someone know if something like this exists?
I'm adding some hashtags for reach.
Feel free to boost and add hashtags you think would help.
PSA: To give me at least a little bit of insight, I've started using the open source, privacy-friendly and non-tracking http://goatcounter.com/ for all important thi.ng related sites/materials, incl. examples & API docs... This will allow me to see which parts are frequented most and help me to (re)focus attention.
Related, the attached heatmap[1] of 6+ years of commits to the https://thi.ng/umbrella monorepo (8480 filtered commits, split by sub-project (rows)) shows that documentation, example projects and build infrastructure have been the most regularly maintained/updated parts throughout all these years. But the project is so vast that many docs still have miles to go to improve, but time is precious and the counter will help me to identify potential weak points (and vice versa)...
You will be part of the GarganText team, contributing to the development of a collaborative and decentralized digital ecosystem based on textual data mining (free software).
I believe I have now attained #music#visualization nirvana with a fully tweaked "Cavalier" #GNOME app. It seems like some songs like Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" were meant to be experienced with a #CAVA#visualizer:
I'd like to make some maps to understand who can access a particular location by public transport.
I'm imagining specifying a small area and drawing all the public transport lines that intersect that area. Bonus points if I can filter by timetables - it's for church and Sunday timetables are a pain.
Can code something if needed but I've not worked with map data before. All ideas welcome :) tyvm!
#PhysicsFactlet
A quantum simple pendulum.
The pendulum position is spread out, with opacity here being proportional to the probability that the pendulum is at that position at a given time. The average position of the quantum dynamics is the same as the classical pendulum dynamics (Ehrenfest theorem).
Technicalities: I used the Crank-Nicholson method to evolve the system in time. This is a 1D problem, and the only variable I considered was the angle, with the initial state being a Gaussian.

Calling all experts & enthusiasts in #visualization and related fields! Don't miss out on this hybrid event, bridging in-person & virtual experiences. More details 👇
Over the past two summers I had the privilege to co-teach experimental design courses, which not only yielded great projects, but also spawned stimulating discussions and discoveries with our students.
To document these kinds of journeys, Philipp @proff and i prepared #SyllabusSite, a template for rendering #Markdown files as scrollable one-pagers that gather readings, inspirations and results in a unique format:
In summer of 2022, Lamin Manneh and i held an experimental seminar that we called »Decolonizing Data Visualization – Visualizing Postcolonies«. In this course, we were particularly interested in the bidirectional engagement between #visualization and #decolonization: we wanted to ask critical questions about #DataVis, but also use the creative and communicative capacity of visualization to convey postcolonial issues:
