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.

In addition to the difficulty of efficiently storing and processing very large data sets, it is often difficult to come up with compelling visualizations of different database technologies in action. Continuing our recent series on data visualization images on IG, this is a visualization of daily Wikipedia edits activity by the Wikipedia bot script “Pearle” as done by IBM. It’s an excellent example of how to simultaneously visualize both a data process and a large data set. More info can be found in Proceedings of INTERACT (2007). “Visualizing Activity on Wikipedia with Chromograms”. The original data is several terrabytes in size. So this is “big data” in 2015. And it should stay “big data” at least for a while, until the equivalent of Moore’s law for data storage makes it small data in a few decades or so. 🙂 Photo credit: Wikimedia/Fernanda B.

Today, we’re doing a glamorous virtual fashion fashion shoot of the caveman co-designed object we created yesterday on Shapeways. This is virtual reality testing. This is the future. VR testing is a perfect compliment with 3D printing, because it provides a means to test physical objects before they are even created. In yesterday’s photo post, we created a caveman-designed (or co-designed) object available on Shapeways that we created in homage to the maker movement. (It was a popular monochrome photo from earlier in our photo stream: our blog post on the 11,000 year-old woolly mammoth cave drawing. We converted it into a keychain holder. It truly was caveman design.) So, to do this properly, we need to have a virtual fashion shoot of this object which does not yet exist. (But likely will eventually exist when someone orders it on-demand.) This is futuristic concept of virtual reality testing. Since keychains are hard to model, we temporarily made this into a necklace pedant, hanging from our virtual model’s (not included) glowing yellow pearls (or whatever those things are that we made that don’t fit into the theme of the rest of the outfit.)… Read the restRecent Posts
