Annita Lucchesi's map was part of #GuerrillaCartography's first atlas, #FoodAnAtlas, which was a crowd-funded success in 2012.

We're now getting ready to publish our third atlas, Shelter, but we need YOU to help us fund it! Kickstarter link goes live in 2 days! #ShelterAnAtlas

@mxfh @wahlatlas Eine andere Option koennte UTM32 sein:

Today is the launch of this two-and-a-half-year investigation examining the role of women in the workplace. Women are missing from positions of influence that shape this country. It’s more than a wage gap. It’s a #PowerGap. https://t.co/T9PInHGV9O

Happy new year everyone 🥳 As a new year's resolution I've decided I would try to do even more dataviz. To start of with I've put together a portfolio of my past work. Hopefully you will discover something you haven't seen before. Check it out ➡️ https://t.co/NvCuVzWTsq

A decade ago I saw #GabrielOrozco exhibition @MuseumModernArt in NYC. Every now and then I think about his work.

Here is a programmatic recreation of one of his piece of art.

The intrinsic patterns of Cellular Automaton rules are usually visualized using a grid of black and white squares. Here is a different way to realize the structure within these rules. 1/11 (Also available as an article here: https://t.co/wpEeQ8sQK1)

Thanks @laesser @ChristiansenJen @JenLSchwartz for the great collaboration! 🙌

How many of the data visualizations you created are colorblind-safe? All? 90% at least? Hopefully?

Personally, I don't know.

I wrote a blog post to make you (and me!) care more. It's the first article in a 3-part series on colorblindness. Find it here: https://t.co/rAjUKWhOUN

I've published an interactive & editable article with more details on how to create perceptually smooth CIELAB spline gradients:
