I cannot think of another illustration by a scientist or philosopher who attempts to explain their own, literal, view of the world and then offer what this looks like to the reader from inside his own head, looking out through his own eye. That's exactly whatErnst Mach is doing right here on page 15 of his influential book Die Analyse der Empfindungen, the fourth German edition ("The Analysis of Sensations and the Relation of the Physical to the Pyschical", published in Jena in 1903).

"…the so called quinarian approach to classification that was embodied in the work of British entomologist named William Sharpe Macleay (1792-1840) but taken up almost immediately by others, principally Nicholas Aylward Vigors (1787-1840) and William Swainson (1789-1855) during the 1820s and 30s. They somehow came to believe that living things existed in natural groups of five, that such groups of five are naturally divisible into five subgroups, each subgroup into five sub-subgroups, and so on. Affinities among taxa formed circular chains…Quinarians were also convinced that similarities between taxa based on affinity as well as analogy could be indicated in the same diagram…"

"I realized it was all my fault. I let the culture of the company get corrupted.I ignored problems instead of nipping them in the bud.I was aloof and away instead of managing or training managers.I confused everyone by sharing my daily thoughts before they had cemented into decisions.I announced decisions, then assumed they were being done, without following-up to ensure.I whimsically delegated to the wrong people, avoiding the mental work of choosing wisely.(I could list another 20 of these, but you get the idea.)It felt so SO good to realize it was my fault!"

"While Jekyll 2.0 might not transpire to be an appropriate project for a publishing house to replicate, its attempt to retell a narrative with a technical edge could well inspire future digital projects: a horror novel that changes pace according to data collected from a heart rate monitor, or cuts out a room's smart lights once a climactic passage is reached, escalating the horror further."

"There’s a huge underserved population today who are consuming content on their phones and we’re giving them a crappy experience. We’re telling them, “Here’s how the web works for you: You have to pinch and zoom your way through sites that were designed for a much larger monitor, you’re going to get errors and the fonts are going to be really tiny.”

As I grow in my visual thinking work, it’s become abundantly clear that the story is 100 times more powerful than the visuals that support it (and am I going to get in trouble for saying that!) I’ve always known that visualizing crappy content is like putting lipstick on a pig, but the overwhelming importance of story, message, narrative, and arc is becoming part of my modus operandi like never before. So how does a girl get educated on story? Well, by taking the most famous seminar on story in the world – that of Robert McKee, story professor extraordinaire.

The first color wheel has been attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, who in 1706 arranged red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet into a natural progression on a rotating disk. As the disk spins, the colors blur together so rapidly that the human eye sees white. From there the organization of color has taken many forms, from tables and charts, to triangles and and wheels the history.

Jerónimo M.M.'s insight:
Hay mil razones por las que esto me parece una idea maravillosa, pero, resumiendo:
-Los humanos llevamos mas de un cuarto de millón de añois contemplando el fuego, algún cientifico ha argumentado que esa fascinación con mirrar juegos de luces sigue viva en nuestros genes, y por eso seguimos teniendo chimenas, y barbacoas cuando ya no hacen falta.
-Ambient TV. Siempre le contaba a mis estudiantes de TV interactiva la historia de ese canal de cable americano que antes de cerrar unas licencias, pusieron una cámara apuntando a un tanque de peces que tenían en la oficina, para retransmtir *algo*, cualquier cosa, hasta cerrar los contratos. Cuando llegaron los canales y quitaron el tanque recibieron una avalancha de llamadas de clientes pidiendo que volvieran a poner los peces. Tal fue la demanda que decidiron allí mismo crear un canal permanente, FishtankTV. Lejos de ser una aberración creo que esta historía dice mucho de la verdadera naturaleza de la TV, y de su función, por encima de todo, como juego de luces relajante.
-Baby TV. Ahora que tengo niñas he visto mucha TV infantil, mi preferida con mucho, es la TV que se hace paras niños pre-verbales, es lo más relajante que he visto en mi vida, sin anuncios, nin tnoticias, sin tiros, sólo colores y sonidos bonitos, me quedo empanado viendola, y después me siento bein, es TV sana, y eso si que es raro.
En ese aspecto no me extrañaría nada que la iniciativa Noruega, brillante, la mires como la mires, sea todo un extraño éxito.

Jerónimo M.M.'s insight:
Brian Eno tiene una fase célebre donde dice algo así como a los instrumentos de música electrónica les fata más Africa.
Siempre pensé que se refería al interface, los botones, teclas y potenciometros que pueblan los instrumentos de música electronica no pasan de ser herencias de controles cuyo origen era maquinaria industrial. Botonacos, knobs, ruedecillas, quedan a años luz de la respuesta táctil de un tambor, o una cuerda.
Eno tenía razón. Sin embargo parece que el layout de matriz de botones que el AKAI, via hip hop, llevó a las manos de todo dios*, tiene ya tanta solera, que ha dado a que emerjan cosas como esta:

Cómo se hizo la webapp de las olimpiadas del Guardian uk
"Timelines remain one of the most useful visual mechanics to display sequenced information. They also, as we have been discovering, relate very closely to that other "visual mechanic" of our time - the stream, which, thanks to Facebook and Twitter, is emerging one of the pre-dominant, if not the dominant, metaphors for news distribution in the digital era. So when the opportunity arose to create a "Second Screen" experience for the Olympics, which would have to display the huge variety of Olympics-related news: from blog posts, to tweets, pictures, and other data-based updates (results, medal tables, and the like), we wondered: was there a way to reimagine the timeline such that it enabled a better navigation of this voluminous stream?
