Butterflowers – Martisoare

Ro: Martisoarele Butterflowers – martisoare hand-made, pictate cu acrylic (rezistent la apa), sub forma de brose sau felicitari.

Ma gasiti in Piata Unirii, Cluj-Napoca, in spatele statuii lui Matei Corvin, in perioada 25.02.2011 – 02.03.2011.

Acesti “Butterflowers” sunt o continuare a proiectului meu Butterflowers’ Garden de data ofline si hand-made.
1 Martie Fericit!

EN: “Martisoare” are little hand made crafts made to celebrate the arrival of spring, in Romanian tradition. People give them to one another, especially to kids and women at 1st March.

I find my Butterflowers’ Garden a great symbol of spring and continued the Butterflowers’ Garden project with a series of painted Butterflowers that can be worn as accessories, and also greeting cards for this occasion. They are painted with acrylic, so they are water proof.

If you are in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, during 25.02.2011 – 02.03.2011, you can find me selling them in Unirii Square, behind the Matei Corvin statue.


Happy 1st Mach!

The Individual CO2 Paper Pie Chart

Individual CO2 emissions (for USA) vs. how to reduce them.

The pollution data is organized in the shape of letter C, the remaining part, can be expanded to form a circle, O, revealing tips for reducing the CO2 emissions, and facts about the tree’s role in reducing CO2.

The more the O expand, the smaller the C is.

Made on printed colored paper, stitched, glued, then photographed.

Data viz: Global Life Expectancy

A new data visualization I made. Life expectancy for people born in 1990, 2000 and 2006 in various countries over the world, each continent’s highest and lowest life expectancy. First graph is a view through the 1990s – 2090s timeline, while the second one shows the same data, viewed by age. And a graph showing the increase/ decrease life expectancy patterns for those countries.

The data comes from visualizing.org a new data viz online platform that launches today (1st Oct. 2010) at the Cooper Hewitt Design Conference in New York (live stream).
Here is a link to the Data set.

CSS is beautiful – Illustrations

Some illustrations drown constucted in html/css. They are made from divs, mainly just experiments with border-radius.

Each element in the flower is a div, with position:absolute;. The rainbow is made from 4 divs one inside the other, positioned relative, colors are from border/background/border/background of each div, one inside the other.

Oh, they work in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Exlporer and Opera – only if you want to see a sqare flower and a square rainbow.

Map your moves

My entry for the The Brian Lehrer Show
– Map Your Moves: Data Visualization Challenge
. The data comes from a Census survey in which nearly 1700 people responded, which asked when, why, and where each person has moved over the last 10 years.
