Liza Singer
>>*Active/Inactive >>*Math >>*Reading >>*Book of Life Sinan Ascioglu I don't have a specific topic as dataset but I have examples of work that I would like to have within the website openvisuals.org
Some popularity examples are: Dean Gransar My topic tags:
from yahoo research lab : flickr tag visualization (notice ITP Wintershow tags appear in winter) share information by sliders Ohad Folman ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Assignment 3Micaela Pesantes Joora Song This is an interactive map where sea level stations are indicated by dots on the world map. When you click on each circle, it shows the real time data of sea level for that particular station.
World map with sea level rise data using colors. Data indication graphic and world map are very distinguishable through usage of colors.
It shows the vulnerability of Arctic coast with documentary photographs that show unstable coastal environments inset projected from danger area.
HighWaterLine was a public artwork on the New York city waterfront that created an immediate visual and local understanding of the affects of climate change. The artist marked the 10-feet above sea level line by drawing a blue chalk line and installing illuminated beacons in parks. The line marks the extent of increased flooding brought on by stronger and more frequent storms as a result of climate change.
This is an interactive game for kids to make them learn about global warming.

Notes and comments on the day from the blog!!Presentation Descriptions and Resources:Gretchen G My completely fictitious topic is the science of discovering exoplanets
Here is a link to a concept map on this topic, still under construction
Sinan Ascioglu OpenVisuals - Thesis. OpenVisuals is a website for Open Source Visualization Framework. Within this framework, the mission is to map different datasets to different visualizations, suggesting that a visualization can be a representation of many data, and a data can be represented in different ways. For this website, I am trying not to focus on any specific dataset, but generic datasets that could be uploaded to the website. I am creating a programming API, which would support and make easy access to such generic datasets. I collected couple of datasets that I would work on on my blog post. Pravin Sathe Pravin - Thesis. With ever increasing globalization due primarily to the decreasing cost of travel (CITATION), the collision of disparate languages has created linguistic events that are both beautiful and challenging. For many who live in countries other than their birth, and whose native tongue is no longer their primary speaking language, these collisions occur on a day to day basis. A Postcard to My Two Mothers aims to address these linguistic collisions by creating a series of sculptures that take into account ideas of language duality in multilingual/multinational persons, the impermanence of life, the mutability and potential degradation of language and culture. Thomas Chan and Seanita Tolliver Our visualization will be about chromatin structure modeling. Chromatin is a combination of DNA and proteins which make up our chromosomes. Much work is still being done exploring the role of chromatin in gene expression, and their folding structure is a key to that understanding. We are consulting with Tamar Schlick and Sean McGuffee of the NYU Computational Biology Lab.
Here are the slides for Salon 1.
Amy Khoshbin and Michael Clemow We would like (but do not know how) to generate a dataset consisting of Electroencephalogram data of the ourselves reading aloud in unison. We'd like to establish a connection between us verbally through the language of the text and monitor our brainwave activity. This activity would be visualized in contrast to a baseline reading of us sitting at rest and one of us reading silently to ourselves. Questions/problems we have are as follows. 1) How/where can this be done (for free)? 2) Who can we talk to about this? 3) Are there facilities on NYU campus that could provide this service?
For your consideration:

Micaela Pesantes Topic: Earthquakes – and how to diminish its effects in the future.
Visualize what happened during the August 15th, 2007 earthquake in the Pisco, regarding: - Magnitude - Geological conditions - Housing conditions – specifically those related to Poverty. - Other Socio – Economic indicators that contributed to the amount of destruction, and how they can be significantly reduced in the future, if we are able to plan ahead. Area of Science:
IGN – National Geographic Institute (of Peru) Maps: show PDF. AMNH – American museum of Natural History Here there is an animation, plus physical models of PANGEA and how the world looked millions of years ago. Comment: neither of these generate any story / emotional response / genuine understanding of what it is like to go through an earthquake. Thus, no lessons can be learned that will have any practical application for the future, which should be the whole point of studying natural disasters. They will happen again in that particular area, so it is better to be prepared for said event. And I think that more things can be done about / around earthquakes than around storms. Particularly because these last ones are being intensified with global warming and so on. Joora Song I'm doing Sea Level changes based on data mostly found online. These are sites from where dataset and visual data samples can be found: EPA-Environmental Protection Agency National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - Joint Archive for Sea Level National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - WOCE Sea-level rise and coastal stability in the Arctic Dean Gransar
PlatoHelper is a website for keeping track of specific things. It works by tagging, blogging those tags and visualization. Karl Hartig has some of the best charts, diagrams,information graphics at http://www.karlhartig.com/chart/chart.html I have been looking at visual complexity as well. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Salon 2:Settings and FormsGretchen G my example presentation is produced for a science museum setting and its form is information graphics in high definition video, with a linear narrative

We interviewed a number of cognition experts at the NYU psych dept. and are planning to design a set of cognition/perception experiments based on the notion that, with the help of our new Perception Expansion Suit (currently untitled), anyone can now perceive aspects of their surroundings (e.g. changes in light) in and on parts of their body other than those normally used in sensing (e.g. armpits vs. eyeballs).
If this kind of augmentation is available for your perceptual apparatus, then we feel it is appropriate to extend the study of the visual system to encompass these new fields of expanded perception, bestowed on us by our augmentation devices. Using the same techniques used to study the default human visual system, we will conduct experiments on the expanded visual system.
Possible applications of this research include the design of interfaces for users with expanded perceptual apparatuses (such as those users who are wearing the Perception Expansion Suit). We want to reach out to designers (among others) to make them aware of the new developments in human perception augmentation and let them know how this may or may not affect their work.
