November 12, 2007: entopic graphomania
I’m finding myself thinking about ways to represent visual information. I have been researching tag clouds and wondering if there are some more sophisticated way to represent research. I have been drawing complex connecting networks in an attempt to visualize the rhizomatic relationships between ideas.
The voronoi mathematical progression is one way. After looking for some art references I came across Dolfi Trost, a Romanian Surrealist artist. In 1945 he coined entoptic graphomania, where a drawing was made by connecting dots based on the marks, flaws and impurities in a blank sheet of paper.
