I found a silly bug so that most comic previews looked brownish. It now represents more accurate colors. https://moebius.colortheft.com/#comics/ #moebuis #datavis

🥳 New side project: The Colors of Jean Giraud — A homage the great comic artist #Moebius. He created many beautiful #comics like Blueberry or The Incal. I made a #datavis that explores how he used color through his stories and over time. https://moebius.colortheft.com #JeanGiraud

New Project 🥳 I had the pleasure of supporting @moritz_stefaner in the last months. We created a couple interactive and static print charts for the upcoming 175 year anniversary issue of @sciam. It was a pleasure @ChristiansenJen @JenLSchwartz...

Die neue @DIEZEIT ist ab heute erhältlich und als Leser habe ich mir angeschaut, wann und wie sie sich mit dem #Coronavirus angesteckt hat. https://lab.laesser.net/coronazeit/#/ #COVID19 #datavis

My latest lab project is online 🥳 Color Theft lets you steal colors of your favorite artists and make custom pallets. Happy 🔴🟡🔵 picking on tablet and desktop — https://colortheft.com/ #colors #art #threejs #svelte

Christian Laesser @laesser.bsky.social · Jan 12

Hey, lovely #threejs crowd. I have a short question: I want to identify a particular sphere inside a buffer geometry, The raycaster provides me with a face of a sphere with a faceIndex that doesn’t fit the underlying object/order. What I do wrong ? :)

Christian Laesser @laesser.bsky.social · Jan 12

The artist color picker is growing. I added a collection preview and export view. I’m looking forward to publishing the first beta in the next week or so. #threejs #sveltejs

Christian Laesser @laesser.bsky.social · Jan 12

My current spare time project: It is about #artists, their #colors, and finding a way to steal them. #threejs #svelte

The #InternetHealth Report 2019 is out! I had the honor to support the team at @mozilla in the last months. I create all the #dataviz for the report. Thanks to @solanasaurus and @kaodro for being a part of the team! Check out all the articles at https://internethealthreport.org/2019/

@InfoPlusConf thanks for the great conference. All the people behind the conference did a really great job. You created an open space where we could feel welcome and were able to share ideas. Thanks alot! #infoplus2018

http://flows-and-tolls.com is a new project on international trade and the underlying tariffs for commodities. @moritz_stefaner and I created that project for the German Logistics Federation @BVLoffice. It was launched at the #dlk18 yesterday and is now online :)

.@HerrStange and I finalised our prototype for the 3DH project (http://threedh.net/ ). It was interesting to work with the researchers. I learned a lot about user expectations and how to transform them into a working environment. #digitalhumanities #dataviz #prototype

.@steffenhaensch shows how to combine a design in @figma with an @observablehq notebook to generate a mockup scene

Christian Laesser @laesser.bsky.social · Jan 12

Small sneak preview of 3DH. @HerrStange and I work on a text annotation #dataviz tool for the University of Hamburg. The tool allows researchers to explore their annotation through different layout to find new correlation. #wip

Is it okay to fake data for your personal benefit? Looki is first mobile app that simulates user behaviours to protect privacy and open up new possibilities. Get early access at: https://fictional.systems/looki/

I'm slowly getting to something tangible with my #fictional iphone app. I started with the visual design and thanks to @steffenhaensch it has a name.

Christian Laesser @laesser.bsky.social · Jan 12

I’m working on my first #fictional iphone app. It imitates user behavior based on generated fake data in order to protect users or give them new possibilities. https://www.instagram.com/p/BiMBhtmjiyn

An other #Kardashian exploration. You see how they changed the content of their instagram photos over years. The color indicates the day of the year. The second picture shows all 18k photos since 2011. #tsne

Christian Laesser @laesser.bsky.social · Jan 12

I'm exploring the visual possibilities of machine learning and tsne. Here the Instagram fingerprints of the #Kardashians. The color indicates the age of the image, circle area the likes and thickness of the lines the distance between the clusters.
