information aesthetics.Where form follows data.
a visual overview of one's typical life, with each 'blob' representing one month sequentially from left-to-right, from top-to-bottom. a blob's color delimits specific life milestones of comparable or average people, such as "Einstein publishes paper on special relativity on this age" or "average age of first time grandparent".

sadly it is totally dequantified. so you would need to count circles to know where you are right now ... from this point of view it is a bad visualization.
It's very difficult to look at because of the scintillating grid illusion.
very interesting overview. keep on posting.. thank you
