During the past few days, I have immersed myself in a world of information graphics, programming, visually complex graphs and generative art. These are all relatively new areas for me. I am researching a few projects that involve the aesthetic arrangement of large information sets. I am amazed at the lack of definitive information, no pun intended, on information graphics. (Looks like I'll be purchasing The Visual Display of Quantitative Information tonight.)

In many cases, the graphics are simply designed poorly , i.e. they fail on either a functional or aesthetic level. In other cases, they are absolutely magical, and instead of viewing them on a computer screen, I wish that I could project them on a wall. New technologies give the information graphics an entirely new dimension of interactivity. I'll post the stuff on which I am working in the future.

Visual Complexity was my best find so far. The web site features a large number of compelling projects, from WikiMindMap to FIDGT Visualize.
