Iconic Carl Sagan Nasa Pioneer plaque as glitch art
Ok, we took a pause from our variations on maps and charts to look back at some of the more iconic past images on our IG feed. One of our most iconic (and recognizable) is the Carl Sagan-designed plaque that went into space aboard Pioneer in the 1970s as a message to aliens. We had to crop the image to keep within IG community standards. (We also did a 3D-printed version of this.) So here is our first take on this: glitched Carl Sagan Pioneer Nasa plaque. If aliens would have a hard time deducing Earth’s location from the original Plaque due to the errors (see our original post and some of subsequent ones), this glitch art version would totally confuse them. If only we sent this version into space instead, Earth would now be safe from predatory aliens! 🙂 It’s also no longer #monochrome, due to the glitching skewing the colors.Ironically,… Read the restEvolution of historical notions of Earth
A collage we created to help visualize evolving historical notions of Earth over time. We created it as part of our IG data visualization series. The first two maps are from ancient Rome. The middle image is of a 16th-century map is already surprisingly accurate. (That map was the tanktop being worn by our virtual reality fashion model in our last collage.) The last image is Earth photographed from space. D Data and geospatial analytics, where data is combined with other location information, are often important components in data analysis and visualizations. We have more and modern map collages forthcoming. Post and some comments below may be synced from our original Instagram version. Instagram likes: (more…)… Read the restCollage progression glitch VR fashion
Collage progression of glitch art variations of our earlier Virtual Reality fashion feed photo. As we mentioned earlier (on our IG feed), various algorithms can create all sorts of Andy Warhol-style Pop Art effects on the images, including the psychedelic one. The last photo on the bottom right was to date the all-time most popular photo ever on our Instagram feed by a wide margin. Any guesses as to which databend glitch techniques were applied here? A version of this article originally appeared as a photo post on our Instagram feed. (more…)… Read the restSatire and satirical drawings in 1789 could get you killed
Satirical drawing from 1789. We started off this series (on our IG) of French Revolution postings with a United Nations graphic on current inequality (or an inequality-adjusted Human Development Index.) We wanted to help illustrate why some current theory says it’s important. Historians debate the causes of the revolution, but commentators at the time pointed out inequality. This is one of the social commentators arguing the social inequality aspect, but doing so with a cartoon rather than words. (The 3rd estate is carrying the wealthy 1st and 2nd estates on its back. The 3rd estate were the commoners in the French ancient regime. Amongst other things, they were subject to much heavier taxation than the other two estates.) Then, as now, these cartoons could get you in trouble. This was 18th century drawing was published anonymously. If it annoyed the King too much, the 18th century police would launch an investigation to trace the source.… Read the restRecent Comments
