I know I am unfortunately not the only one getting the scoop on this story, but I do bet I am the only one who asked the author for permission to reproduce his work. Chris seems to specialise in writing algorithms that visulise a dataset in an aesthetically pleasing medium, much of his work involves processing aforementioned datasets and producing node graphs from them. These graphs are not simply aesthetically beautiful a lot of them would I think pose a significant interest to linguists based upon their nature of showing linked words in texts. The one which caught my eye is the below Bible Visulisation, both examples I have chosen to show here explain visually although not in any extensive usefulness, how much information is actually within the Bible through showing the cross-referencing of words and names within. I think they are not only a wonderful example of the beauty which algorithms can produce but from a design and typography standpoint they are exceedingly intriguing. If you like what you see below I would recommend that you see more at Chris Harrisons’ website.
