The ability to auto-render on a macro scale from micro images. A big reveal. This could be immensely powerful.
HBO Imagine →
Really good interactive work for HBO from Barbarian with an intricate multilayered storyline behind it. A lack of a plot-line is where Voyeur, the last big HBO site, fell down.
Voyeur reminded me of Perec’s Life A User Manual, with its multiple, interconnected storylines across an open-faced apartment block. This is Robbe-Grillet’s Jealousy, with physical points of view dictating how...

To examine how every story fits together, News Dots visualizes the most recent topics in the news as a giant social network. Subjects—represented by the circles below—are connected to one another if they appear together in at least two stories, and the size of the dot is proportional to the total...

The slightly pointless do they-don’t they argument rumbles on.
The ‘how I use twitter’ comments from yer average (older) user are more revealing than the piece itself.

As the field has expanded, so its definition has been stretched. Manuel Lima wants to be a bit stricter with what counts as data visualistion to protect the integrity of the discipline. The comments are interesting too.
