A serious waste of paper, but good fun, the rasterbator allows you to upload a small image, and creates a giant rasterised version of it for printing.

Vectorial Elevation is a public art experiment taking place in Dublin soon.
As of April 22, 2004, anyone who logs onto the website www.dublinelevation.net will be able to design enormous light sculptures in the sky of Dublin. The website will have a 3D virtual model of the city where participants can make a light design using 22 robotic searchlights placed around O?Connell Street. As submissions arrive from the Internet, every fifteen seconds a new pattern will be displayed in the sky.
Update: This made the front cover of the Irish Times

A GoCode is a tiny printed barcode-like hyperlink. Reminds me of Edward Tufte’s Sparklines.

Web Scraping involves creating a program to visit a website and retrieve some data from it. For example, you can scrape the latest customer reviews of a book from amazon.com and display them on your own website.
It would be interesting to create a project based on data taken from a live search engine voyeur feed, thus incorporating live search requests from across the world. The live requests could even be hooked up to Google Images to create a visual representation of the world’s searches in realtime.
It seems like the easiest way of doing it is to use Perl or Python, but I know neither. Hmm. More on this in the future.
Update: Newsmap scrapes Google News and presents it as a treemap, alloting screen space according to each story’s popularity. Nice interface.
