Mad Quickies: Goldilocks Data Viz, Chemical Bouillon, a Tiny Graphite Train and More!

You guys- we made it through Part One of the holidays and we’re heading for Part Deux. Stay strong, keep calm and have some Quickies. Onward!

Jan Willem Tulp of Tulp Interactive was the lead on creating an extraordinary exoplanet visualization for the space-themed data viz conference Visualized 2015. This visualization allows the view to explore “Goldilocks planets”, exoplanets considered to be potentially habitable. Truly, this is data viz at its finest.

Video find: Chemical Bouillon is the video project of three French artists—Antoine Delach, Valere Amirault, and Teurk—”studying the graphic aspect of chemical reactions.” What a genius name! Tons of gorgeous shorts at their youtube channel. I’ll feature a short at the end of the Quickies.
