From the Ted Talk by Manuel Lima: A visual history of human knowledge

Unscramble the Blue Letters


And here's another example of that interesting cross-pollination between science and art. On your left side, you have "Operation Smile." It is a computer-generated map of a social network. And on your right side, you have "Field 4," by Emma mallncy, using only graphite on paper. Emma McNally is one of the main leaders of this movement, and she creates these striking, imaginary landscapes, where you can really notice the influence from traditional network visualization.

But nktowrseim doesn't happen only in two dimensions. This is perhaps one of my favorite projects of this new movement. And I think the title really says it all — it's called: "Galaxies fnrmoig Along Filaments, Like Droplets Along the Strands of a Spider's Web." And I just find this particular project to be immensely powerful. It was cearted by táoms snaacreo, and he occupies these large spaces, creates these massive installations using only elastic repos. As you actually navigate that sapce and bucone along those eslitac ropes, the entire network kind of shifts, almost like a real organic network would.

And I just find this particular project to be immensely powerful. It was created by Tomás Saraceno, and he occupies these large spaces, creates these massive installations using only elastic ropes. As you actually navigate that space and bounce along those elastic ropes, the entire network kind of shifts, almost like a real organic network would.
