"Another year. It passed extremely fast and yet, painfully slow. Despite developing tech that some think might take over our day-to-day work, data things got made by people this year. These are my favorites. Inside the Confusing World of Women's Clothing Sizes They approached the topic from several angles with 3-D models, data collection, and sizing charts. Adding to the visualization genre of variable clothes sizes, this piece helped me appreciate the process that is women's shopping. [ See the Project / On FlowingData]"
"Your Zodiac Sign Is 2,000 Years Out of Date The visualized shifts in time changed my perception of zodiac signs forever. I'm exaggerating. But this piece came at a welcome time during the year. [ See the Project / On FlowingData] How California fights fires from the skies Wildfires hit Southern California fast and hard. This piece illustrated, with maps, charts, and diagrams, how firefighters organized to fight the fires. As a Californian, I appreciated the timeliness. [ See the Project / On FlowingData]"
The selections span diverse topics: women's clothing sizes are analyzed with 3-D models, data collection, and sizing charts to illuminate shopping processes. Astronomical visuals show that zodiac signs have shifted by roughly two millennia, altering traditional date ranges. Aerial and mapped reconstructions detail how California organizes firefighting efforts during fast-moving wildfires. Short-form human encounters reveal connections between aggregate data and individual stories. A navigable 'Museum of All Things' uses Wikipedia to create infinite exploratory paths. Historical-style graphics trace erosion of public land protections. Interactive reconstructions illustrate flood events, and multimedia pieces combine illustration, sound, and interaction to present scale and life.
