I found this fun blog called infosthetics.com that , according to the “about” page follows the the “symbiotic relationship between creative design and the field of information visualization. More specifically, it collects projects that represent data or information in original or intriguing ways.”

Definitely a fun site to explore. My favorites were the MTV Twitter posts from the VMAs, and the post about Weaving Meteorological Data into Artful Baskets.

Below is a picture of a basket weaved by Nathalie Miebach .  She translates astronomy, ecology and meteorology data – including parameters like land, sea and ocean temperature, tide readings, moon phases, the solar path in relation to horizon, the distance between Sun and Earth – as physical woven sculptures.  Definitely a beautiful and creative way of showing information and data.  Looking at them makes me a little nervous however, I wonder what would happen if I pulled on one of the pieces?
