I connected with Fathom Information Design during the Eyeo festival and they invited me to give a presentation during their Friday social hour in mid-July about my work and its connection to infovis and computational artmaking. I drew up a slideshow about my recent forays into Processing and how they relate to the “Organic Algorithm” series I’ve been developing.
Handwritten “algorithm” for generating a hand-drawn map
Procedurally-created hand-drawn map process

Visual notes from Eyeo during a presentation by Ben Fry, co-creator of Processing and head of Fathom
The best part of the presentation was that while I was presenting on my visual notes, I was getting visualized myself! Attending employee Rachel Harris drew an amazing map of what I’d talked about; see more of her work on her Instagram here.
