Excited to share a project I worked on over the past year 🎬✂️ A scrollytelling visualization exploring Lotte Reiniger’s work through 3 film databases, and how each platform’s purpose shapes the professional perception of her legacy. #DataVisualization #sveltekit #LotteReiniger #Scrollytelling

🥳 New research project: explainability.design explores how to make AI decisions understandable, trustworthy and actionable for the people they affect. With the help of AI, I’m curating a library of design patterns and testing them in design Explorations.

We've just launched the Atlas of Global Development, an online publication presenting interactive stories and data visualizations (95 of them!) on key global trends In this thread I give some background and highlight some parts of the Atlas that I find noteworthy data360.worldbank.org/en/atlas/ 1/n

Hi-fives to @laesser.bsky.social, Flavio Gortana and @janjohannes.bsky.social, the team at @diplo.de (@kachumbali.bsky.social, Melchior Reihlen-Börgers, ...) and our research partners at the UniBW Munich and @pik-potsdam.bsky.social! Find more info about our project here: climate-conflict.org

@astrodotbuild any tips to create an i18n page with Astro?

What an honor 😃 Paola Antonelli (MoMA) and Alice Rawsthorn (Chisenhale Gallery) mentioned my covid project "DIE ZEIT und das Coronavirus" at their Design Emergency IGTV: https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3lADblPdX/ #COVID19 #Corona

So langsam wird auch den Ausbreitung des #Coronaviruses in der Wochenzeitung @DIEZEIT zurückgedrängt ;) Details zur aktuellen Ausgabe unter: http://lab.laesser.net/coronazeit/ #COVID19

Die neue @DIEZEIT ist ab heute erhältlich und als Leser habe ich mir angeschaut, wann und wie sie sich mit dem #Coronavirus angesteckt hat. https://lab.laesser.net/coronazeit/#/ #COVID19 #datavis

My latest lab project is online 🥳 Color Theft lets you steal colors of your favorite artists and make custom pallets. Happy 🔴🟡🔵 picking on tablet and desktop — https://colortheft.com/ #colors #art #threejs #svelte

Hey, lovely #threejs crowd. I have a short question: I want to identify a particular sphere inside a buffer geometry, The raycaster provides me with a face of a sphere with a faceIndex that doesn’t fit the underlying object/order. What I do wrong ? :)

The artist color picker is growing. I added a collection preview and export view. I’m looking forward to publishing the first beta in the next week or so. #threejs #sveltejs

My current spare time project: It is about #artists, their #colors, and finding a way to steal them. #threejs #svelte

The #InternetHealth Report 2019 is out! I had the honor to support the team at @mozilla in the last months. I create all the #dataviz for the report. Thanks to @solanasaurus and @kaodro for being a part of the team! Check out all the articles at https://internethealthreport.org/2019/

@InfoPlusConf thanks for the great conference. All the people behind the conference did a really great job. You created an open space where we could feel welcome and were able to share ideas. Thanks alot! #infoplus2018

http://flows-and-tolls.com is a new project on international trade and the underlying tariffs for commodities. @moritz_stefaner and I created that project for the German Logistics Federation @BVLoffice. It was launched at the #dlk18 yesterday and is now online :)

.@HerrStange and I finalised our prototype for the 3DH project (http://threedh.net/ ). It was interesting to work with the researchers. I learned a lot about user expectations and how to transform them into a working environment. #digitalhumanities #dataviz #prototype

.@steffenhaensch shows how to combine a design in @figma with an @observablehq notebook to generate a mockup scene

Small sneak preview of 3DH. @HerrStange and I work on a text annotation #dataviz tool for the University of Hamburg. The tool allows researchers to explore their annotation through different layout to find new correlation. #wip

Is it okay to fake data for your personal benefit? Looki is first mobile app that simulates user behaviours to protect privacy and open up new possibilities. Get early access at: https://fictional.systems/looki/

I'm slowly getting to something tangible with my #fictional iphone app. I started with the visual design and thanks to @steffenhaensch it has a name.

I’m working on my first #fictional iphone app. It imitates user behavior based on generated fake data in order to protect users or give them new possibilities. https://www.instagram.com/p/BiMBhtmjiyn

An other #Kardashian exploration. You see how they changed the content of their instagram photos over years. The color indicates the day of the year. The second picture shows all 18k photos since 2011. #tsne

I'm exploring the visual possibilities of machine learning and tsne. Here the Instagram fingerprints of the #Kardashians. The color indicates the age of the image, circle area the likes and thickness of the lines the distance between the clusters.

Das erste fertige Projekt des Jahre :) Ich hatte die Chance @brandeinswissen bei ihrem Artikel über die Innovativsten Firmen Deutschlands mit Visualisierungen zu unterstützen. Viel Spass beim explorieren! #dataviz

I feel very honored that you can see my @datastories project, besides works of @kimay, @chrispiecom, @tillnm, @NadiehBremer, @moebio, @bndktgrs and many others, at the exhibition "The Art of Networks" in Boston - http://www.theartofnetworks.com

A small preview of a text analysis tool @HerrStange, Hannah Schwan and I are working on. #dataviz #wip

Congrates @dominikus to your #iibaward! Great project :)

Behind the scenes post: How we came up with our visualizations of Google search interest around the German elections https://medium.com/@laesser/behind-the-scenes-how-we-came-up-with-our-visualizations-of-google-search-interest-around-the-a864c3add0e9

Hey, I added five uses cases to http://christianlaesser.com. You can learn more about my interaction design and data visualization process.

It would be great if more people could see the project & learn about the inequality. Please vote: https://www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/showcase/1772-travel-visa-inequality @infobeautyaward

Yeah! Travel Visa Inequality got on the shortlist of @infobeautyaward. I updated the data. It's still sad that there is so much inequality.

I’m happy to announce that you can see my #dataviz at the Art of Networks exhibition at the http://Complenet.org Conf in Boston next year

It's nice to see that my two side projects: travel visa inequality and 100 data stories are listed in the #iibawards longlist :) #dataviz
