Visual Complexity

Have you ever played the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game where you try to connect Kevin Bacon to any other actor by naming movies that connect them? Have you ever thought about a map showing where your friends live, and where their friends live, and so on?

These are both examples of taking data and visualizing it in a specific way. Although I often don't think about it, my connectedness to the rest of the world is unbelievably complex, and I stumbled across a site that is beautiful in design with an amazing amount of data laying beneath it.

Be sure to drop by the VisualComplexity web site when you get a chance. It will brighten your day.
