Elastic Mind

We are happy to announce that members of the VCL have two visualizations featured in Design and the Elastic Mind, the new exhibit at the MoMA in New York, which runs from February 24 to May 12, 2008.

History Flow, our visualization of Wikipedia editing history is making an appearance with “chocolate” and “abortion.” Thinking Machine, a visualization of the complex decisions that underlie strategic thinking, reveals the machine’s thought process as it tries to beat you in a game of chess.

The exhibit explores the relationship between science and design in the contemporary world. With over 200 pieces, it spans a variety of fields: from nanodevices to vehicle constructions, from appliances and interfaces to furniture design. Visualization commands one of the six rooms of the exhibit.

If you happen to be in New York City, it’s worth a visit!
