Static Infographics and Motion Graphics are great, but Interactive Visualizations are where all the fun is.

Computer scientists have created an algorithm that enables a computer to make sophisticated classifications of paintings and their respective styles.

A tool to easily crowdsource information using multiple channels, including SMS, email, Twitter and the web.

MIT's Senseable City Lab has partnered with French rail operators SNCF to map delays to high speed trains over the course of a week. Trains are represented by coloured markers, with size corresponding to number of passengers and colour to severity of delay.

Citeology looks at the relationship between research publications through their use of citations. The names of each of the 3,502 papers published at the CHI and UIST Human Computer Interaction conferences between 1982 and 2010 are listed by year and sorted with the most cited papers in the middle.

The aim of the project was to symbolize the idea of creative process. The process is described as a passage towards to an end, but how can it be represented?
