We scoped out these map paintings by Paula Scher during a field trip to Chelsea galleries this past Saturday morning. Pretty rad.

These are amazing. Going to check them out on Saturday.

Rad indeed. Check out Hillman Curtis’ nice mini-doc on Paula Scher for more on her background.

Don’t you love when Google image search gets all cinematic?

I prefer actual books

I always feel a little snobby when I say it (“I prefer actual books” kind of feels like the new “I don’t even own a TV”), but I totally agree with the sentiment of this cartoon. My reading life improved (or recovered?) significantly on the day my Kindle broke…

This past June, artist and educator Jer Thorp organized the Eyeo Festival, a gathering of coders, data visualization pros, designers and artists. Today, his talk from the Festival, in which he focuses on two of his current projects, was posted online:

First: Project Cascade, a real-time analytic tool built to examine how New York Times content is shared through Twitter. Second: His work designing a name arrangement algorithm for the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan. He also sprinkles in a few lessons learned from various projects and his latest work on the OpenPaths.cc project.

For more context about his projects, PopTech interviewed Thorp about his work and his approach a couple of months before the Eyeo Festival. In addition, we spoke with The New York Times Company’s Research and Development Lab’s Michael Zimbalist in May about the development of OpenPaths.cc, a database of anonymous location records uploaded by users, which Thorp explains in his talk. And for an added bonus, enjoy a couple of posts from our coverage of the Eyeo Festival while it was taking place.

Some great code open-source hacktivism here.

poptech:

Have you seen this STOP SOPA screen today? Wonder where it came from? The man behind the screen is none other than Zach Johnson.

On GitHub he explains:

Hi, I’m Zach, and I made this for the internet. I felt inspired by the “going dark” theme of the SOPA blackout protest. I’ve been calling my representatives in Congress, but this gave me another outlet for my frustration with this legislation.

I place this code in the public domain. I require no attribution.
