Major Fires Since 2001 Each dot represents a moment of pretty extreme heat; down to the one square kilometer level (creator only retained fires greater than 100KW MW and of those only fires that the system was more than 50% confident of). They've been colored and scaled by "units" of the typical American nuclear power plant's summertime capacity to provide some sort of baseline of the fires' magnitude. There are a couple temporal charts in there, too. The seasonal curve the creator would expect, but the overall upwards trend was interesting.

Earthquakes since 1898 The creator has been looking at general sources of existential risk and visualizing them via the kitchen sink school of thematic mapping. So the earthquakes map was just a matter of time.

Here, data from NCEDC.org and the USGS and UC Berkeley have been sliced out into veneers based on magnitude, then glued onto and image that began its life at NASA's Visual Earth and wrung into the Times projection (centered at the interesting bits). The result looks an awful lot like a fleet of Nickelodeon tankers spilled the world's supply of floam.

Arthur Buxton

Vogue magazine covers are the ideal barometer for measuring color trends in popular culture. Within each piece the small bar charts show the five most prominent colors, proportionally, in an individual Vogue cover. Each column is a year starting with September and working down to October at the bottom. The columns run from 1981 on the right working across to 2011 on the left.

After viewing the work one becomes increasingly a where of the differences in overall national color palettes. The most striking trend is the recent preference for paler colors, which is evident on all three charts. Seasonal trends are more subtle. Gaps occur where covers are unavailable. Aside from seasonality and longer term changes in color trends, other, more quantitative data is evidenced. By looking at ‘Paris Vogue Covers 1981 - 2011’ we can see a sudden change in tones which occurs in late 1987. Colombe Pringle became the magazine's editor-in-chief in December 1987. The colours undergo a sudden change again in 1994 when Joan Juliet Buck, an American, was named Pringle's successor’.

The bar graph that runs along the bottom represents all of the chapters in the Bible. Books alternate in color between white and light gray. The length of each bar denotes the number of verses in the chapter.

Each of the 63,779 cross references found in the Bible is depicted by a single arc - the color corresponds to the distance between the two chapters, creating a rainbow-like effect.

THE LUXURY OF PROTEST

THE LUXURY OF PROTESTPeter Crnokrak info@theluxuryofprotest.comhttp://theluxuryofprotest.com

NEVER FOREVER NEVER FOR NOW This is a quantitative visualization of the transient nature of empire. The visualization graphs all known empires, colonies and territorial occupations from 2334 BCE to the present day. Each empire occupies a slice of the pie graph with a known start (+) and end (×) date. Each slice is assigned a transparency value of 10% allowing for concurrent empires to be visualized – the more empires that occupy the same period of time in history, the whiter the graph. As history progresses, humankind’s competition for wealth, resources and the relentless drive toward conquest and occupation can be clearly seen in the graph.

The data shows an accelerating trend toward greater and greater conquest of territory and greater and greater competition amongst imperial powers. The graph starts relatively light (top right portion of graph) as early cultures maintain territory that can be considered indigenous. With time, cultures encroach upon one another as shown in the heavy white areas to the left of the graph (representing 900 CE to 1900 CE).

EVERYONE EVER IN THE WORLD Everyone Ever in the World is a visual representation of the number of people to have lived versus been killed in wars, massacres and genocide during the recorded history of humankind. The visualization uses existing paper area and paper loss (die cut circle) to represent the concepts of life and death respectively. The total number of people to have lived was estimated through exponential regression calculations based on historical census data.

The sequence of dots to the top left of the graph shows the dramatic increase in the number of conflicts over the past 5 millennia (left to right : 3000 BCE to 2000 CE) with the most recent 1000 years being the most violent. The large dot below the graph represents the 1000 years to come: a predicted startling increase in the frequency of human conflict.

The visualization uses existing paper area and paper loss (die cut circle) to represent the concepts of life and death respectively. The total number of people to have lived was estimated through exponential regression calculations based on historical census data.

The commemorative Science edition – the 3rd and final print of “Everyone Ever...” – is entirely laser engraved and laser cut in heavy cotton paper. Laser engraving produces a distinctive burn pattern with subtle smoke-like wisps that are particularly pronounced on white paper. Being a subtractive process, engraving is a perfect process to convey the notion of loss. The burn patterns also convey the concept of inferno which is in and of itself, inextricably linked to destruction and death.

The total number of people to have lived was estimated through exponential regression calculations based on historical census data.

As a contrast to the heaviness of the first “black” edition (which in itself has a direct symbolic relationship to the void of death), the second edition printed on frosted semi-clear plastic takes on a ghost-like transparency to express the same concept, but using diametrically opposite language. The fundamental relationship of poster area to die cut area remains, but the lightness of the milk-white ink on semi-clear plastic to a nod to the fleeting nature of existence and the symbolism of loss – that life disappears as easily as it is created.
