Major Fires Since 2001
Each dot represents a moment of pretty extreme heat; down to the one
square kilometer level (creator only retained fires greater than 100KW
MW and of those only fires that the system was more than 50% confident
of).
They've been colored and scaled by "units" of the typical American
nuclear power plant's summertime capacity to provide some sort of
baseline of the fires' magnitude. There are a couple temporal charts in
there, too. The seasonal curve the creator would expect, but the overall
upwards trend was interesting.

Earthquakes since 1898
The creator has been looking at general sources of existential risk and
visualizing them via the kitchen sink school of thematic mapping. So the
earthquakes map was just a matter of time.

Here, data from NCEDC.org and the USGS and UC Berkeley have been
sliced out into veneers based on magnitude, then glued onto and image
that began its life at NASA's Visual Earth and wrung into the Times
projection (centered at the interesting bits). The result looks an awful lot
like a fleet of Nickelodeon tankers spilled the world's supply of floam.

Vogue magazine covers are the ideal barometer for measuring color trends in
popular culture. Within each piece the small bar charts show the five most
prominent colors, proportionally, in an individual Vogue cover. Each column is a
year starting with September and working down to October at the bottom. The
columns run from 1981 on the right working across to 2011 on the left.

After viewing the work one becomes increasingly a where of the differences in
overall national color palettes. The most striking trend is the recent preference
for paler colors, which is evident on all three charts. Seasonal trends are more
subtle. Gaps occur where covers are unavailable. Aside from seasonality and
longer term changes in color trends, other, more quantitative data is evidenced.
By looking at ‘Paris Vogue Covers 1981 - 2011’ we can see a sudden change in
tones which occurs in late 1987. Colombe Pringle became the magazine's editor-
in-chief in December 1987. The colours undergo a sudden change again in 1994
when Joan Juliet Buck, an American, was named Pringle's successor’.

The bar graph that runs along the bottom represents all of the
chapters in the Bible. Books alternate in color between white
and light gray. The length of each bar denotes the number of
verses in the chapter.

Each of the 63,779 cross references found in the Bible is
depicted by a single arc - the color corresponds to the
distance between the two chapters, creating a rainbow-like
effect.

THE LUXURY OF PROTEST

NEVER FOREVER NEVER FOR NOW
This is a quantitative visualization of the transient nature of empire. The visualization graphs
all known empires, colonies and territorial occupations from 2334 BCE to the present day.
Each empire occupies a slice of the pie graph with a known start (+) and end (×) date. Each
slice is assigned a transparency value of 10% allowing for concurrent empires to be
visualized – the more empires that occupy the same period of time in history, the whiter the
graph. As history progresses, humankind’s competition for wealth, resources and the
relentless drive toward conquest and occupation can be clearly seen in the graph.

The data shows an accelerating trend toward greater and greater conquest of territory and
greater and greater competition amongst imperial powers. The graph starts relatively light
(top right portion of graph) as early cultures maintain territory that can be considered
indigenous. With time, cultures encroach upon one another as shown in the heavy white
areas to the left of the graph (representing 900 CE to 1900 CE).

EVERYONE EVER IN THE WORLD
Everyone Ever in the World is a visual representation of the number of people to
have lived versus been killed in wars, massacres and genocide during the recorded
history of humankind. The visualization uses existing paper area and paper loss
(die cut circle) to represent the concepts of life and death respectively. The total
number of people to have lived was estimated through exponential regression
calculations based on historical census data.

The sequence of dots to the top left of the graph shows the dramatic increase in
the number of conflicts over the past 5 millennia (left to right : 3000 BCE to 2000
CE) with the most recent 1000 years being the most violent. The large dot below
the graph represents the 1000 years to come: a predicted startling increase in the
frequency of human conflict.

humankind. The visualization uses existing paper area and paper loss (die cut circle) to

lived was estimated through exponential regression calculations based on historical census
data.

The commemorative Science edition – the 3rd and final print of “Everyone Ever...” – is
entirely laser engraved and laser cut in heavy cotton paper. Laser engraving produces a
distinctive burn pattern with subtle smoke-like wisps that are particularly pronounced on
white paper. Being a subtractive process, engraving is a perfect process to convey the notion
of loss. The burn patterns also convey the concept of inferno which is in and of
itself, inextricably linked to destruction and death.

humankind. The visualization uses existing paper area and paper loss (die cut circle) to
represent the concepts of life and death respectively. The total number of people to have
lived was estimated through exponential regression calculations based on historical census

As a contrast to the heaviness of the first “black” edition (which in itself has a direct
symbolic relationship to the void of death), the second edition printed on frosted semi-clear
plastic takes on a ghost-like transparency to express the same concept, but using
diametrically opposite language. The fundamental relationship of poster area to die cut area
remains, but the lightness of the milk-white ink on semi-clear plastic to a nod to the fleeting
nature of existence and the symbolism of loss – that life disappears as easily as it is created.
