Aaron Koblin: Artfully visualizing our humanity

Posted by

http://www.ted.com Artist Aaron Koblin takes vast amounts of data — and at times vast numbers of people — and weaves them into stunning visualizations. From elegant lines tracing airline flights to landscapes of cell phone data, from a Johnny Cash video assembled from crowd-sourced drawings to the “Wilderness Downtown” video that customizes for the user, his works brilliantly explore how modern technology can make us more human.

Lyrics:
Hickory dickory dock. The mouse went up the clock.
The clock struck one. The mouse went down.
Hickory dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

A snake!
Hickory dickory dock. The snake went up the clock.
The clock struck two. The snake went down.
Hickory dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

A squirrel!
Hickory dickory dock. The squirrel went up the clock.
The clock struck three. The squirrel went down.
Hickory dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

A cat!
Hickory dickory dock. The cat went up the clock.
The clock struck four. The cat went down.
Hickory dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

A monkey!
Hickory dickory dock. The monkey went up the clock.
The clock struck five. The monkey went down.
Hickory dickory dock.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

An elephant…oh no!
Hickory dickory dock. The elephant went up the clock.
Oh no!
Hickory dickory dock.
