Last November Density Design has been invited by the School of Art and Architecture of Stockholm to organize a workshop of data visualization with the student of a master. They were working on the same topic, the city of Pune in India, trying to understand how to visualize some data about the city.
Students had different background studies, [...]

We are proud to present our research in the visualization of complex systems at the Arts | Humanities | Complex Networks — a Leonardo satellite symposium at NetSci 2010 taking place at BarabásiLab — Center for Complex Network Research, Northeastern University in Boston, MA, on Monday, May 10, 2010.

This is a map of Europe as you’ve never seen it. It shows how people in the 27 EU states perceive the impact of the internet and mobile phones on their lives – and then contrasts this with their actual penetration in each country. We wanted to explore new ways to visualize such complex data. [...]

We have been officially invited to present the CityMurmur project at the Emerging Technologies conference at SIGGRAPH09. Citymumur NewOrleans will be launch on the 3rd of August on the occasion of the first day of the conference.
For those who have never heard anything about the SIGGRAPH (short for Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive [...]

On 3rd and 4th June, CityMurmur project (www.citymurmur.org) landed in Paris to take part to HyperUrbain.2, a conference about Information Technologies and Communication in urban areas, which was at its second edition this year.
Theme of the symposium was “la ville cartographiée” (the city map), and to give our contribute to the discussion, we were warmly [...]

This is the DensityDesign’s whiteboard, as usual, full of projects and thoughts.

This morning flipping trough the last issue of the Economist, I ran into an interesting article titled “Mapping a Better World“. Since we have been working together with the LA based NGO Iridescent Learning in the “Urban Schools Needs Project”, I’ve became quiet familiar with the shape of Los Angeles. When, flipping the last page [...]

A very interesting set of conferences (about to end but we’re still in time) about cartography. The occasion is the next issue of the Atlas of Le Monde Diplomatique.

Finally we’re able to show the result of a side project, part of the DensityDesign Lab teaching program: the visualization of complex experiences and processes. Our students faced the preparation of “Risotto al radicchio tardivo”, a traditional Italian dish. Like any cooking experience, it can’t be exhaustively represented by linear languages (i.e. textual recipes). It’s [...]

It’s a great pleasure for us and a great boost to our work being reviewed ten times as great infographers and knowledge visualizators
