He makes hand crafed ones too http://www.flickr.com/photos/haohao2009/3180209251/in/set-72157612279549794/ and is a wonderful, master thesis project.

I am in agreement with ben and christian at http://www.datavisualization.ch/showcases/handcrafted-time-mapping where i found it that it is an 'impressive piece of a hybrid of graphic–, information design and data art'.

Olga surawski's website is clean and clear, and in her infographics section i believe her visual info biking visualisation has had quite a bit of publicity but i would like to see this one in more detail as it looks to be quite an innovative, creative, well hand made collage effect? but other life maps are no less creative and innovative life maps.

i wonder what data variables have been included? message her here Olga Surawska.

UNSCR


unsc - pierozagami

'UNSC/R: this is the abbreviation for the United Nations Security Council
Resolutions.

These documents represent the decisions of the UN’s executive body. This
massiveamount of data (more than 1700 documents) doesn’t come in any organized form.

The purpose of this project is to apply information design strategies to create
visual maps of the Resolutions to help students in politics approach the subject of the
UN.

For more information about this project please visit my blog.'

This is is an interesting project and useful, need to knwo more info as to
how the circles help index, communicate, structure the info.
