The Shape of Song,
2001
The diagrams in The Shape of Song display musical form as a sequence of translucent arches. Each arch connects two
repeated, identical passages of a composition. By using repeated passages as signposts, the diagram illustrates the deep
structure of the composition.
The picture above was built from the first line of a very simple piece: Mary Had a Little Lamb. Each arch connects two identical
passages. To clarify the connection between the visualization and the song, in this diagram the score is displayed beneath the
arches.

Chopin, Mazurka in F# Minor

All Streets
All of the streets in the lower 48 United States: an image of 26 million individual road segments. No other features (such as outlines or geographic
features) have been added to this image, however
they emerge as roads avoid mountains, and sparse
areas convey low population.

About this data
The information here is based on a sample of 6MM patient
records from GE's proprietary database, and represents some of
the conditions that commonly affect Americans today. Gender,
age, weight and smoking status are important factors in
evaluating a person's propensity for common diseases, but there
are many other contributing factors. The percentages in this
application should only be interpreted as general trends.

GoodMorning: Visualizing Wake Up Tweets around the World
GoodMorning [blprnt.com] is a Twitter visualization tool that shows about 11,000 "good
morning" tweets over a 24 hour period, between August 20th and 21st. And this is just a
simple sample of Twitter activity around the globe. All tweets are color-coded: green blocks
are early tweets, orange ones are around 9am, and red tweets are later in the morning.
Black blocks are 'out of time' tweets which said "good morning" (or a non-english
equivalent) at a strange time in the day.

Clouds over Helsinki
Using a laser animation, data
describing the power consumption of
the coal power plant, was projected as
an outline of the cloud onto the
exhaust from the coal power plant,
which grew as power consumption
went down. The project was massive
in scale, not only physical logistics,
but also in creating partnerships
between the artists, government, and
business."
During this time 4,000 local residents
reduced their energy consumption by
800 kVA, the equivalent of the power
generated by one windmill running for
one hour.
