This was not what I was going for while working on a data art collection. But I saved the code in my pen plotting folder instead to try it out in the future! 😆

#genart

Loved seeing the works of 100 artists that are using drawing machines (e.g. pen plotter, and many more options) in 'Trace the Line'

Makes me want to pull my AxiDraw out in the open again (but it's currently in storage as we're renovating the house 🥲)

Loved reading this article by Robert Simmon on Data Visualization Society : 'From Space to Story in Data Journalism,' going into the history of capturing photos from space and how they're being used today in journalism for Context, Documentation, & Investigation: nightingaledvs.com/from-space-to-…

Fancy a walk into our museum in the metaverse? Last few days to enjoy Issue #07: She Codes featuring Alida Sun, Nadieh Bremer and Monica Rizzolli. Tomorrow we will announce Issue #08 lineup and dates.

📣 The next data vis book club is happening Friday, March 15th at 7pm UTC during our Unwrapped conference!

We'll be discussing 'The Art of Insight' by Alberto Cairo. 🤩

You'll find all the information for this special session here 👇 buff.ly/3T4ov0I

This is a goldmine of things I want to experiment with myself! ✨

(but won't have time for until our house renovations are done, which will still take about a year 🥲)

I added the Data Art piece I created for Scientific American's article on Dark Energy to my portfolio, where you can now see the spread and a few close-ups (of the > million objects observed!)

Because the visual calculations were too time-consuming (I tried web workers and every other trick I know (not that that's a lot)) I opted to create an animation to load each circle, so it doesn't look like it actually takes a few seconds to process all circles 😅

#dataviz

Sneak peek of something new, just the beginnings ✨

My 'circle location calculations' were unexpectedly also equipped to handle screen resizing, which was a fun surprise when adjusted my browser window because of something unrelated and my visual said 'I got this' XD

#dataviz

Writing the 2nd chapter of my book and scrounging up some sketches to include that I've never shared before. Such as this one.

I'm honestly amazed at how close it was to the final result (but the devil is in the details ofc 😉)

#dataviz

Loved the little deep dive into the career of Bob Chapin, TIME's chief cartographer during some pivotal moments in the previous century in RJ Andrews's 'Chartography' newsletter:

Today, I cleared my schedule, opened that blank page, and started writing on my new book 💪 ✒

I even managed to finish the first chapter! Well, the first draft, of course 🙃

#dataviz

Sneak peek of a new map #dataviz that I'm working on and excited about ^_^

The sheer number of layers of data to add to this map, in a visually pleasing way, has been quite the struggle 😵‍💫

I hope someone is having a white Christmas ❄️

If you'd like to see how often some capital and/or well-known cities in the Northern Hemisphere have had snow on this day in the past 50 years, check out the Christmas card I made ^_^ nbremer.github.io/christmas-card…

Merry Christmas! 🎅

I just sent out my short bi/tri-yearly newsletter 💌 Sharing the new #dataviz Christmas card I created looking into snow on Christmas Day ☃️, astronomy data art for SciAm, jigsaw puzzles, and 3D bar charts (😱)
