Tonight’s dumb visual: 🦷 dental inequality in Belgium.
Each tooth → a social class.
Height → how often they see a dentist.
Same teeth, different chances to keep them 😬

Une carte électorale, c'est déjà un choix politique 🗳️
La façon de représenter un vote — la projection choisie, l'unité retenue, la couleur attribuée — influence la lecture qu'on en fait.
Color experiment.
I reshuffled the pixels of famous paintings so they cluster by hue, saturation and lightness.
No objects, no composition, just the hidden color structure of the artwork.
Four years of war in Ukraine.
I designed this map for Doctors Without Borders💡Each light is a hospital location. “Lights out” marks the moment teams must switch off, evacuate, and move on as the front advances.
A tribute to resilience and care under fire.
Went to the Kikk Festival in Namur a few weeks ago and loved it. Such an inspiring event for anyone into digital and creative culture. They just released some of the talks online, check them out!
My favorite is this one from @roberthodgin.bsky.social 👇
Still buzzing after speaking at LIVE Magazine in Bozar. Sharing stories of Brussels through maps and visuals in front of more than 4300 people was unforgettable. Grateful for the energy, the audience and the amazing team behind the show.
Thanks Mike, I hope you will like it ;)
I did a short interview with @observablehq.com about keeping visuals simple, clear, and easy to connect with. I also touched on curiosity, emotion, and what I’m still figuring out. Grateful for the conversation. 👇
I love every little details of this work! 🤩
Interesting 🤔 That could work really well...
Totally, it is interactive and you could interact with it on a browser (not deployed yet).
I like that idea 😉
I was thinking about doing it like a coiled phone cable and animate it with a camera movement from the center.
Would love to see that actually 😛
Ohhh 😲
Hi Ian, do you have a picture of how the Climate Explorer does it? I curious to see how they have approached the issue 👀
Thanks Ed! Brilliant idea 🔥 I could animate the donuts over time to show warming trends. I’ll see how far back open-meteo.com goes. Do you know any other free datasets with long-term city-level climate records?
Exactly! Weird + challenging is where the good stuff happens 😅
Built in the new @observablehq desktop app, using @threejs
So here it is: my dumb data viz experiment. 🍩
✔️ Solves the continuity problem
❌ Harder to spot patterns
❌ Hours are visually distorted
But hey… not everything has to be practical, sometimes it’s just fun! 😅 Also: how cool would it be to create a physical object like this?
I came across those flat climate charts where x = day of year & y = hour of day. They’re neat, but the "cut" at January & midnight always felt arbitrary. 🤔
So I thought… what if we used a torus? The perfect loop for time & seasons!
🍩 What if climate looked like a donut? 🌍
Here’s a bunch of cities turned into a sweet dataviz experiment.
🟡 → comfy zone
🔴 → hot
🔵 → cold
Why a donut? Let me explain 👇
Des cartes inspirantes ! Voici des cartes qui utilisent la métaphore du vent pour illustrer la dynamique électorale entre deux dates. La direction et la couleur montrent le changement du vote sur une période donnée, la longueur du trait son intensité.

📈 Can Belgium reach 80% employment by 2030?
We created an interactive visual storytelling piece showing how age, gender, and location shape job opportunities.

Pretty cool indeed 😉
Fil's maps don’t just show places, they tell powerful stories. Always inspiring to see his work and grateful for his contribution to the community. Give him a follow and read his interview:
Thanks for the addition 🙏
Thanks for this idea! They do have some graphical skills, so this could be a great way to quickly create an original design based on data and then explore their own ways to physicalize it using a variety of materials.
Hey #dataviz folks! I’m looking for fun, hands-on workshop ideas to introduce art students (no coding skills) to data visualization. Any favorite exercises that blend creativity & data in an engaging way? Open to all suggestions! 🎨📊
