The well-formed.eigenfactor project will be at dis­play at the Infor­ma­tion Aes­thet­ics Show­case, curated by Vic­to­ria Szabo, at SIGGRAPH 2009, August 3–7 in New Orleans. I will also give a lit­tle Mon­day morn­ing talk on the project and am really excited to be part of this first intru­sion of the infor­ma­tion aes­thet­ics scene into the con­fer­ence on com­puter graphics!

For those from the Stuttgart area: I will give a pub­lic (ger­man) talk on Mon­day, April 20, 6:30pm at HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd on infor­ma­tion aes­thet­ics and my work.

Update: lec­ture slides here. Thanks to Eric Roden­beck and the other see#4 speak­ers for some last minute inspirations!

Haven’t watched it yet, but I guess it’s good :)

Happy new year everyone!

The video from my (ger­man) xtopia talk is online. You need either the sil­verlight browser plu­gin to play it back, or you can down­load a high res ver­sion directly (144MB). And here are the slides.

Update: Here it is on vimeo as well. More web-friendly.

I speak about my work for the MACE project, and other ongo­ing work as well as some of the US elec­tion visu­al­iza­tions. The talk was fun and also received quite well; in the audi­ence eval­u­a­tion, I scored 7.88 (out of 9) for pre­sen­ta­tion style, 8.33 for com­pe­tence, 7.85 for con­tent of the pre­sen­ta­tion and 6.82 for busi­ness relevance.

In other news, things are a bit cum­ber­some at the moment, because I broke my leg and this will take a while to heal… But, it gives me the time to work on my port­fo­lio page, which should be online soon.

Short notice: I will re-play my xtopia talk from yes­ter­day today at BTK Berlin at 5pm. Partly pre­sent­ing my own work, plus a dis­cus­sion of visu­al­iza­tions around the US pres­i­den­tial elec­tions.

Update: Slides are online. Will upload the miss­ing videos (blank slides) soon­ish on vimeo. Please excuse the funky tem­plate, that was part of the xtopia requirements…
