So, I made this thing on how many women speakers we have on stage at the type of conferences I like to go to. Personally, I think our field is probably already quite grown-up in respect of diversity and balance, but I think we could still do much better. I hope my small data collection and visualization helps a bit for organizers to reflect where they would like to land on my x-axis :)

Resonet is an attempt to map the twitter community around the resonate festival, using a technique similar to the vizosphere I made earlier. This time around, I used a zoomable SVG map, which makes text labels searchable.

A quick diversion based on Bing search results for the phrase “von X nach Y gezogen” (“moved from X to Y”) applied to the top 30 German cities.

Together with Lutz Bornmann, Rüdiger Mutz and Felix de Moya Anegon, I have been looking into which institutions (universities or research-focused institutions) are most active in different subject areas of science and which have published the most excellent papers. Based on my colleagues data analysis, we produced a small web application which allows to browse and explore the data set. The application is password protected, so you will need to end an email to password-request at excellencemapping.net to request access.

Designed visual theme and webpage for the EC-TEL conference on Technology Enhanced Learning in 2008. There are 34 logo variants with different animal outlines.

Designed and developed a fish-eye distorted timeline for the Swiss news programme Tagesschau.

Website design and coding for jewelry designer Barbara Schnöckel

A prototype of a meta–data based visualization of Fluxus art events in their historical context using fuzzy association measures and fish–eye distortion.

Prototype for a virtual pinboard to organize digital materials during project work.

In this study project, we developed a haptic compass in form of a belt, and evaluated its effects when used over long periods of time. I worked on the logo & website design, planning & organization, as well as some background research.

During my stay at the Fraunhofer Institute at St. Augustin, I worked on the interaction design and information architecture for the EU-project RAFT. I also implemented a prototype of the planned system with Flash and FlashComm server.

My first interactive visualization, produced for an older version of my personal website. I still use it to demonstrate focus and context navigation.
