revealing modern mythology
20 March 2007

a set of online visualizations that support the exploration of personal mythology over time, allowing users to find unique constellations, based on personal interests & curiosities. this application, called Universe was inspired by the question: if we were to make new star constellations today, what would they be?
the world is analyzed as 'stars' (events, artifacts, or personas), 'shapes' (words, people, quotes, images), 'secrets' (alphabetical keywords), 'stories' (news stories), 'statements' (quotes from the most important stories), 'snapshots' (important photographs), 'superstars' (public personas like people, places, companies), 'settings' (geographical places), & 'time'.
created by Jonathan Harris, also well known from we feel fine & love lines & phylotaxis & 10 x10 & wordcount & globalization infographics.
