Glitch of steampunk icon Charles Babbage
Here’s a glitch of steampunk icon Charles Babbage himself (Wikipedia bio). (This is part 3 of a series of glitch art photos posted to our Instagram feed.) Babbage invented a mechanical computer in the 19th century that is still being studied today. It was one of our most popular set of photos on IG. So, of course we had to do some glitched art versions. Later versions of Babbage’s inventions were built after his death and performed calculations for tables used by sailors and statisticians. These early mechanical computers were gradually improved over the next 200 years, ultimately incorporating electronics. The history of the computer does not begin with the transistor.

A couple things here. A while back we did several posts about the social progress index (with the original, unglitched Dutch masterpiece version of this 1600s schoolhouse painting to symbolize world literacy). We talked about how big data (or at least econometric) models predict how closed societies negatively impact our world, and some speculation about real world events. Since we wrote our original article, one of the Social Progress Index folks did a Ted talk. On an unrelated noted, we also we wanted to do an encore repost of our Dutch schoolhouse painting. This was partially to remind our Instagram followers about the demonstrated importance of open societies: a combination (and balance) of factors such as high literacy (education), low corruption, security, and low inequality. Ironically, Instagram decided to censor our original post comment (with this image but with a caption about glitch art and the Social Progress Index.) The image was allowed but the comment automatically deleted by Instagram’s censorship software.… Read the restMother’s Day Monet (Seasonal)
Seasonal: We thought we’d celebrate Mother’s Day with a Monet painting. (And of course, we’re planning to glitch this). This 1875 Claude Monet goes by a number of different names including “Madame Monet and her son”, “the stroll”, etc. Post and some comments below may be synced from our original Instagram version.

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 restRecent Posts
