Jer Thorp is an artist and educator from Vancouver, Canada. Using Processing, he created this animation, showing an evolving system over the span of a year.
About his work: “I’ll be working with data from Pressible, a network of sites published by Teachers College students, faculty and staff. I’m interested in looking at the growth of this system, and in examining intertextuality between content in a network with a broad range of research interests.”

Lev Manovich, UC San Diego, delivers a paradigm on the quantitative end in the humanities, Cultural Analytics. The project is Visualizing Patterns in Databases of Cultural Images and Video. The focus is on automatic analysis of visual and media culture: video games, mass media, visual art and cinema.
The intent is analyzing cultural documents through information visualization, currently limited to the study of formal qualities of historical works of Art.
