This site is full of several visualizations of information in the graphical form. I thought these projects were interesting one dealing with physical space and the other with virtual. The site is a great source for ideas and research.

Level Green: Visualizing Transport Sustainability in a Tangible Way
This was a project done a few years ago that I find very motivational. The site is a great example of networking and map making. Cracks in the Pavement was started in Austin, Texas, in June 2004. The project featured site-specific works by 15 Austin-based and international artists both in Austin and in London, UK and was presented as part of the London Biennale 2004.

Quite a different approach to art creation and science
ENKI is a series of experiments concerning the ability of electric fish and humans to commune on the same level – that of electrical fields and brain waves – avoiding the use of language as such; instead stimulating a shared empathy through and actual physical connection. Using the bioelectric communication signals from live Electric Fish to control an immersive sensory environment for humans – through which the human can communicate back to the fish.

After attempting to write the Nagel Grant I have melted down. What to do how to create art, I wish being an artist was this simple.
On the top left, the ‘read’ button opens a movie file using a standard ‘open’ dialog box. The file plays in the upper left window.Then the video information (which is actually a 4-layer matrix consisting of transparency, red, green and blue data) is downsampled to a 32 x 24 pixel grid.The next set of boxes, ‘jit.matrix 1 char 32…’ extract one row of the pixel data from the red, blue and green planes. You’ll see that the srcdimstart object is currently fed by the number 9, which means I’m using row 9 of pixel data to drive the chain.The extracted data is glued back together in a matrix 96 measuring 96 columns by 1 row. This shows up in the third black rectangle.The three boxes on top which contain the numbers ‘3 6 9 …’ are the DMX channel addresses. Each pixel sits at 3 consecutive DMX addresses. Finally, the color data is merged with the channel information and sent as a list to the DMXUSB object, which packs it up and sends it out the door to the USB-DMX interface.
Very simple in retrospect.
This was created by John Chapman. I’m concidering something similar to use the DMX USB interface to tether a monome midi device with multiple video feeds.
A recent painting going in a new direction that is more expressive and inventive. The style reminds me of Turner from the romantic period.

I finally remembered a really great site when I was look for another resource site. The community at turbulence has been around practically since the beginning of the internet. Once you dig into their site tons of creative projects emerge. They are a extensive artists commission organization.
I found some really interesting network collaborations and applications. One I found interesting was the Gothamberg project http://turbulence.org/Works/gothamberg/index.php The concept links together stories of apartment living between individuals and places. Anyone can participate and write a story adding to the collective.
I was playing around with some processing code and found some code to generate hub node visuals Here is a couple samples I generated last night.
