Chris Drury

I realise this artist has been added before but thought this work was very different from the other.

This work is more concerned with a kind of mapping...after a visit to Antartica Drury 'mapped' or documented 'data' using echogram technology.

'The ice here is over 4 km. deep and the underlying Earth is hot, so a lake has formed. each line of biro represents over a hundred years in time and accumulation. Antarctica has been covered with ice for around 900,ooo years, which is about the time man has been on the Earth. An echogram, which is a radar image bounced through the ice from an aircraft and imaged in a computer. The image itself can be 20 m. or so long'. An interesting and visual use of data!!!

Oli Laruelle - Invisible Journeys

"Invisible Journeys is my first try at data visualisation. I have seen a few wifi geographical mapping, but they looked a bit too technical to my taste. Here, i aimed at a semi abstract visualisation while keeping the ability to extract sense out of the graphics. Below is one of the visualisation showing 4 different journeys. Bigger to smaller rings : London / Vescemont / Belfort / Barcelona.
Each circular item represent the recording of wireless networks along one journey.
The time dimension starts reading from the right then goes clockwise along the main black thick line.
Each successful node recording influences the time line thickness and adds a “pin” onto it. Red pins represents non encrypted networks other networks are the smaller black ones.
More images of the ongoing process can be found on my flickr set"
