As a child of the 80s, the Choose Your Own Adventure books were a fixture of my rainy afternoons. My elementary school library kept a low, fairly unmaintained-looking shelf of them hidden in one of its back corners. Whether this non-marquee placement was an attempt by the librarians to deemphasize the books in favor of ‘serious’ (children’s) literature or was simply my good luck I still haven’t worked out. But it meant there was a place that I could retreat to and dive into unfamiliar worlds without distraction.
Take a handful of Britain's six million carers and their families, add a Magnum photographer and what do you get? A moving, intimate record of the relationships involved
]]>When we move into any social space we have to choose which of our faces to show. At any given moment, a few of them are visible. The others are hidden, often because we think they are somehow "weird".

asic css file is included with the demo zip. Here is some rough minimal css: view sourceprint? 1.#map { position: relative; width: 700px; height: 470px; overflow: hidden; } 2.#returnlink { display: block; position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0; } 3.#map a.bullet { display: block; position: absolute; width: 10px; height: 10px; background: yellow; } 4.#map img.zoomable { } 5.#map div.popup{ display: none; position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 300px; } 6.#map div.popup a.close{ display: block; position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0; } The code above will work just fine as a starting point. Obviously a lot of embellishment can be added to make the map look as g

AcaWiki is like "Wikipedia for academic research" designed to increase the impact of scholars, students, and bloggers by enabling them to share summaries and discuss academic papers online. AcaWiki turns research hidden in academic journals into something more dynamic and accessible.
Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.
Every time that you login into your local Unix-like machine or a remote hosting server through a FTP client to upload a file or use SSH to get your stuff done, you’re leaving behind a trail of evidence showing your online behaviour: where and when you log in, how often and how long your online sessions are, in short: your modus operandi. This visualization tool unveils this hidden data, which is gathered by running a few builtin UNIX commands and is analyzed onsite.
Lightscreen is a simple tool to automate the tedious process of saving and cataloging screenshots, it operates as a hidden background process that is invoked with one (or multiple) hotkeys and then saves a screenshot file to disk according to the user's preferences.
The idea is that if there are enough, and they're well hidden, you'll discover new ones (in your pockets, in the luggage) daily throughout your whole trip. It makes being apart a bit more bearable!
One of the 8 works I created for the Data Art Show at the Pink Hobo Gallery in Minneapolis.
All these pieces are a pun on the new craze for data visualization. The goals of data visualization as I understand them are to make complicated issues more understandable, to make obscured connections visible and to reveal hidden patterns in the data. After all these tasks have been solved ideally the result should be aesthetically pleasing as well.
But when I look around what is being done in data visualization today I have the suspicion that in many cases the design is more important than the actual information and that the use of data is more an excuse to justify the use of aesthetics.
Since I do not have a problem with aesthetics for their own sake in these pieces I deliberately took the opposite direction. Since I wanted to create something visually interesting I made up my own data which would give me the desired results. All these works are the result of generative algorithms, so all the elements and their connections are actually data and not something I assembled manually in Illustrator.

Data visualization is the use of tools to represent data in the form of charts, maps, tag clouds, animations, or any graphical means that make content easier to understand. Graphic representations of data are popular because they open up the way we think about data, reveal hidden patterns, and highlight connections among elements. Because current web applications allow anyone with access to data to enter information and easily create a virtualization of it, students, informal learners, and the purely curious can now easily create visualizations that might reveal trends that were not obvious from the numbers alone.
Computer scientists have recently undermined our faith in the privacy-protecting power of anonymization, the name for techniques for protecting the privacy of individuals in large databases by deleting information like names and social security numbers. These scientists have demonstrated they can often “reidentify” or “deanonymize” individuals hidden in anonymized data with astonishing ease. By understanding this research, we will realize we have made a mistake, labored beneath a fundamental misunderstanding, which has assured us much less privacy than we have assumed. This mistake pervades nearly every information privacy law, regulation, and debate, yet regulators and legal scholars have paid it scant attention. We must respond to the surprising failure of anonymization, and this Article provides the tools to do so.
Space has many beautiful mysteries hidden inside. Many people have tried and are still trying to uncover those mysteries. In this inspirational post, we present beautiful photographs from space explorations: nebulas, comets, stars, planets, etc. Hopefully, these beauties will inspire you to create beautiful artwork, Web designs, graphics, wallpaper, illustrations, etc.
Facebook has long touted their privacy settings as being highly customizable and secure, so you can be more open and comfortable about sharing information with just the people you choose. But how would you feel if that information was accessible to anyone, anywhere, even if your account was COMPLETELY hidden?
