Looking Outwards 07: Information Visualization

Looking Outwards 07: Information Visualization

Santiago Ortiz’s Lostalgic was interesting to me. He visualized all the scripts of ABC’s LOST TV show. It is interesting to see how a lot of text is organized and visualized in an interesting format. I like how the text data is translated into interactive visual experience. It is interesting to see heavy data at a glance, and also be able to look closely into the details. I am not sure of what kind of algorithms that generated the work, but I suppose he used some kind of conditionals and loops to organize the data into different episodes and scenes. This work is an interesting experience in which I can read the series in a different, interactive way.
