Back in 2015, Jessica Broscheit, Hannes Sieg and myself created a tumblr blog to collect thoughts on urban storytelling, data driven narratives and visualisation of urban data, digital and tangible designs as well as art installations in urban spaces. All this related to research into data driven storytelling, open government data, knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), rapid prototyping and design thinking. Some of the work led to projects such as How Will We Breath Tomorrow, a workshop led by Jessica […]
There were 34,522 complaints called in to 311 between September 8 and September 15, 2010. Here are the most common, plotted by time of day. Illustration: Pitch Interactive Recently I wrote about data-driven journalism and whether it is worth the effort in regards to their monetisation potential for publishing companies. Although there are definitely great and interesting stories to be told with large data sets, it seems unlikely that the immense costs involved in the process of creating these stories can […]
Image: The Wikileaks War Logs (The Guardian) Data-driven Journalism is grounded in calls for open access to information and transparency and has strong links government related open data initiatives, making public data available in standardised and open formats. It aims at the process of filtering data and telling new and interesting stories with conditioned data sets rather than just using the data as a source. The most prominent example of data-driven journalism is the case of The Guardian and Wikileaks, where data […]
A Visual Introduction to Machine Learning is an awesome animated introduction to Machine Learning created by r2d3.us as a scrolling page with animated data visualisations.
The artists of rAndom International created a pretty impressive “rain room” at London’s Barbican arts center in 2012, incorporating 3d tracking cameras and a water management system to keep any visitor dry while walking through the rain. “Rain Room is a hundred square metre field of falling water through which it is possible to walk, trusting that a path can be navigated, without being drenched in the process. As you progress through the space the sound of water and a suggestion […]
2015 | City Layouts | Design by Luis Dilger Topography, architecture and traffic routes give every city a unique structure.These conditions create the typical and individual inner structure of a city.I didn’t only want to show these structures in the conventional way from above, but also including the exact three-dimensionality of topography and buildings – a real world visualisation.The OpenStreetMap data enabled me to visualize the satellite-based information using DEM Earth in Cinema 4D. The results are some extraordinary views […]
A visual representation of where pictures are taken in San Francisco as tourists and locals. Source: Eric Fischer (flickr) Looks nice, doesn’t it? Data artist Eric Fischer also build a worldwide map of local allegiances with MapBox and Twitter. Some of his visualisations are exhibited at the MoMa, utilising the Flickr and Picasa API (like the image of San Francisco above), showing locals and tourists in metropolitan areas around the world. Berlin is among them as well.
A great example of convincing visual storytelling and data journalism. This is an impressive data driven story about airbnb accommodations in Berlin and its correlations with the local real estate market, rents and affordable housing.
Die Mieten in Berlin steigen. Das hat viele Gründe. »Sharing Economy« Portale wie Airbnb locken Touristen und sind ein lohnenswertes Geschäft. Tragen sie eine Mitschuld an der Verknappung von bezahlbarem Wohnraum? Die Diskussion ist in vollem Gange und die Meinungen sind polarisiert. Doch wer hat Recht? Ein Blick auf die Daten verrät mehr.
It is a student project at FH Potsdam within the course “From Reading to Exploring” at the design faculty. The students composed a great article with lots of interactions, high information density and context around facts like local hotspots, average rents, networks and correlations with the hotel industry etc.
