Would love to be added

Congratulations! ❤️

I’ve always enjoyed Datawrapper’s Data Vis Dispatch. Great to see my latest project Weathersquare featured this week. The screenshot they shared reveals a big temperature and precipitation difference between 2000 and 2026 for Tromsø:

I recently interviewed Deniz for the Friends of the Open Visualization Academy series. We talked about his amazing career and, more specifically, about this project. I'll release the episode a month from now

Weathersquare strives for simple, friendly, at-a-glance visualization, but it still respects data resolution with continuous scales and representations. I hope it will be as useful to you as it is to me.

Existing weather graphics were either too simplistic or too complex for my needs. So I created this visualization system with two main criteria in mind: (1) I want to see only what I want to know, and (2) I want to see it in temporal/locational context so that I have references.

I’ve always been interested in how daily weather forecasts are shown on TV, websites, apps, thinking “We have so much high-res data, why do we still hang on to these static cloud/rain/wind icons? And why use 7 different graphs for something as basic and visual as daily weather?”

NEW PROJECT!
I wasn’t happy with existing weather visualizations and apps so I made mine. Weathersquare is a minimalist, intuitive & contextual weather visualization platform designed to provide hi-res data of past & future conditions at a glance. weathersquare.net

Seeing the feeds for the last few days I can’t help but think, people used to behave morally and refrain from making jokes about a person right after they die... Good thing Chuck Norris got bored one day and annihilated all moral values and facts.

Yeah Socratic dialogue is nice but have you ever tried my fellow countryman Thrasymachus’s reaction

Just realized I haven’t shared this figure I designed for @tastanoznur.bsky.social in 2023, visualizing the data structures and volumes used in their personalized drug synergy prediction. Also added in my Commissioned Information Design page: www.denizcemonduygu.com/portfolio/co...

Why does wind have precedence over other conditions on the Weather app? I don’t care about the wind, I just wanna know whether it’s gonna be sunny or not.

2025 was one of the worst years of my life for the most part, but moving to Bodrum and starting sertraline turned it on its head (see Mood). Feeling great now, and grateful for the support of my family, friends, & partner.

Timeline of the commissioned & personal projects I’ve worked on in 2025. (In August-September we moved house.)

Google Analytics gives me headaches so I tried Google Continentals but it’s even more confusing.

The Cabinet in 2025 Your favourite articles, my favourites from others + plans for 2026.

The last post in 2025. A year in review.

One belated announcement before 2025 ends: In May I added Donna Haraway and updated Sandra Harding (1935–2025). Hope to write a more extensive post in Q1'26 for the other additions. Haraway link:

Thanks, will check it out.

Heidegger, The Age of the World Picture (1938)

What 350 different theories of consciousness reveal about reality There are hundreds of coherent theories attempting to explain the origins of experience. Robert Lawrence Kuhn explores what they reveal about free will, artificial intelligence and life after death

And here’s the @newscientist.com feature:

All 325+ Competing Consciousness Theories In One Video. YouTube video by Essentia Foundation

Here’s another nice video about the project:

As a long-time enjoyer, I’m delighted to work with Dr Kuhn & his team. I’m in awe of his vision, his diligence, his kindness & energizing attitude, and his ability to reciprocate my long emails with even longer ones. One of the best collaboration experiences I’ve had.

Another scatter plot comparing the rankings of theories of consciousness in Google search hits vs Google Scholar search hits, as a rough indicator of discrepancies between public and scholarly/scientific interest.

A similar connected scatter plot that focuses on theories in the Materialism category, showing their subcategory, order of magnitude, degree brain matters, scholarly/scientific interest, complexity, and connections among them.

In this connected scatter version, x-axis positions represent order of magnitude (e.g., quantum level, cellular level, neuronal level, neural networks, whole brain, whole body, extended mind, universe); y-axis positions represent level on a materialism-idealism scale.

A force-directed graph with alignment connections. Colors represent the categories to which the consciousness theories belong. Sizes of the shapes represent scholarly interest, the number of Google Scholar hits. Number of edges of a shape represents the theory’s complexity.

After my proposal in Dec’24, we came up with theory features like order of magnitude, materialism-idealism scale, complexity etc. Eser Aygün and Amaç Herdağdelen used Gemini to get theory scores & similarity degrees. I designed and implemented the visualizations using @kumu.io. ↓

Landscape of Consciousness is a project I’m proud to be part of! Thanks to Robert Lawrence Kuhn, Àlex Gómez-Marín, and Peter Getzels for welcoming my proposal to visualize this landscape of theories of consciousness. See it live here:
