So, from my link to Dreamlines yesterday, I kept playing and came up with all of these. These creations inspire new ideas. Mr. Leonardo Solaas, thanks for creating such a creative tool. (There's also a doodl application that is similar and allows for uploading personal pics, too, if you want to try it. And a flickr group for all the photos.)

So all this data art and visualization sent me on a rabbit trail of other sites where you can create artworks online. I love it. Here are some fun websites to explore:

• Escape Motions Experiments (Flame painter is fun)
• Myoats (a community where people create designs using an online drawing application)
• Visual Complexity (collected complex data mapping and visualizations)
• JacksonPollock.org (scroll down for some more fun)
• Asciiomatic (pictures made with letters and shapes - pretty interesting)
• ImaginationCubed (records what you create and plays it back for you - a neat feature)
• Websites as graphs (my visualizations are shown below)
• Wordle (like tag clouds, but more visually interesting and with any text —my creations are below as well)
• And my favorite of all: Dreamlines at www.solaas.com.ar  (Explanation is here. Mesmorizing, huh?)

And here are my creations for Day 19.

Today is my husband's and my 8th anniversary.

A few years ago I created these images for him using a data/word logorithm visualization tool. Each one utilized words and then created shapes and colors based on the letters and words in the phrases. I can't find the tool that I used to create these. The tool is Dreamlines. The Solaas site has many more fun ‘new media art’ and 'data visualization' tools.

So I was looking for something similar and searched for "data visualization," "logarithmic art," "logarithmic image creator." I couldn't find what I was looking for, but I did find a lot of other cool graphic visualization stuff (for example, this, and this (<---WeFeelFine... really wild), and this.) There's even some really geeky programming tools that can help you build this kind of stuff yourself (ie. Processing).

So with Abstract01js I created this burst of fireworks, life, and color for today in celebration of our anniversary! Here's to many, many more Adam.
