I put up a new port­fo­lio site at moritz.stefaner.eu. Not really fin­ished, but good enough. You might be espe­cially inter­ested in the Con­tent Land­scape doc­u­men­ta­tion, as I have not writ­ten about this project before.

After lots of exper­i­ments with dru­pal, index­hibit and word­press, I finally set­tled for the sim­ple and ele­gant frog cms. Highly rec­om­mended, if you want to fill a cus­tom lay­out with dynamic con­tent in a very flex­i­ble manner.

I just came back from the great work­shop “The Scent of Infor­ma­tion” orga­nized by the visu­al­iza­tion gang from LBI Linz. (pro­gram + live-blog) Here are the slides from my talk. Basi­cally, I was pre­sent­ing Andrew vande Moere’s and Andrea Lau’s tri­an­gle model of infor­ma­tion aes­thet­ics, and showed mostly well-formed.eigenfactor and briefly some of my the­sis work.

Some strik­ing nature-inspired gen­er­a­tive visu­al­iza­tions can be found over at Imi­tate and infor­mate. From the site:

This is an exper­i­men­tal visu­al­iza­tion project. We are inspired by nature or other real phe­nom­ena and try to trans­form for­mal aspects of it into data visu­al­iza­tion systems.

Imi­tate and Infor­mate is a project by Cedric Kiefer and Christo­pher Warnow. It emerged from a course called “Real­ity in Vir­tu­al­ity” at Pots­dam Uni­ver­sity of Applied Sci­ences, Prof. Dani­jela Djokic.
