Data Flow – New Book From Gestalten

My work will soon appear in a new visualization book called Data Flow - Visualising Information in Graphic Design from Gestalten.

Data Flow, a new book from Gestalten

Some of my work will be appearing in really interesting looking book called Data FlowVisualising Information in Graphic Design, edited by R. Klanten, N. Bourquin, S. Ehmann, F. van Heerden.

From the publisher:

The application of diagrams extends beyond its classical field of use today. Data Flow charts this development, introduces the expansive scope of innovatively designed diagrams and presents an abundant range of possibilities in visualising data and information. These range from chart-like diagrams such as bar, plot, line diagrams and spider charts, graph-based diagrams including line, matrix, process flow, and molecular diagrams to extremely complex three-dimensional diagrams. Data Flow is an up-to-date survey providing cutting-edge aesthetics and inspirational solutions for designers, and at the same time unlocks a new field of visual codes.

The book will see its Continental European release in early September. Its release in Asia will follow at the end of the September and its North American release is scheduled for mid October.

You can preview it here or preorder it here.

At the Kitchen Budapest

KiBu

For the next few weeks, I will be collaborating with researchers at the Kitchen Budapest. The Kitchen Budapest is a brand new new media research lab located here in Budapest. While I’m here I will continue work on a few of my own projects and will be helping out with some of the research that is happening here already.

It promises to be a great experience. More reports to follow …

American Toys in I.D. Magazine

A detail of my American Toys project accompanies an excellent article by Alex Terzich in the Nov/Dec 2007 issue of I.D. Magazine. Take a look at the project here then go get a copy of the magazine at your local magazine retailer.

Hvad hører du nu? : Urban Echo in København

Composer J. Anthony Allen and I are currently showing the latest edition of Urban Echo in Copenhagen for the ICMC conference. While our original desire to creatively reflect and transmit the desires and thoughts of local city-dwellers has remained, each new location has suggested a different approach. The installation in the courtyard of Huset i Magstræde in downtown Copenhagen is no exception. In this latest installment, J. Allen and I have tightly coupled the audio and visual components and worked to make the projections more “sensitive” to their façade. For example, when text and images are moving about, they respond to the presence of architectural features such as doors and windows by avoiding or bouncing off of them. A quick look at the images or video will make this a bit clearer.

We will be showing this through the end of the week. The sound components run all day and the video components run from dusk until around 10pm. If you want to participate, respond via voice or text message to:

+45 50 50 44 08

It’s a Danish number, but international text messages are pretty cheap. So go for it!

Urban Echo in Copenhagen

CopenhagenJ. Anthony Allen and I just received an invitation to install Urban Echo in Copenhagen, Denmark during the International Computer Music Conference in late August.

Each time we have shown this piece (we’re currently on number three at the MMAA), it has taken a different form. We look forward to reimagining the piece for a new audience in Copenhagen.

We are also investigating sources for travel funding. If anyone knows of any sources, let us know. More later …
