Disappeared in America
From Site:
DISAPPEARED is a project by the Visible Collective that uses technology-art, sculpture-installations and lectures to humanize post 9/11 "disappeared" Muslims. The majority of migrants detained in recent security hysteria were from the invisible underclass of cities like New York. They are the recent immigrants who drive our taxis, deliver our food, clean our restaurant tables, and sell fruit, coffee, and newspapers. The only time we "see" them is when we glance at the hack license in the taxi partition, or the ID card around the neck of a vendor.

The intent is to leverage the characteristic strengths of both man[sic] and machine for unearthing insight. Below are a few sketches from a preliminary exploration into the design space of such tools." Site by Jeffrey Heer - thanks to Michael Dale for sending me the link.

VisualComplexity.com intends to be a unified resource space for anyone interested in the visualization of complex networks. The project's main goal is to leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines, as diverse as Biology, Social Networks or the World Wide Web.
