Visual Technology by Bestario.
Every once in a great while a person (or firm) comes along that inspires you with the ease they take technical information, data and technology to create beautiful things. Stamen Design, ManyEyes and Jonathan Harris come to mind. Certainly architects have been doing this for eons and digital developers create such feats in incremental (sometimes fearless) ways everday.
Some are bold about it. Check out Bestario. They look pretty fearless, if not visionary.
Here's the low-down on their latest project:
Bestiario, a Barcelona Spain based start-up, has been exploring and inventing new interactive visualization paradigms over the past 5 years. The result of this effort is the creation of IMPURE.
Impure is a visual programming language aimed to gather, process and visualize information. With impure is possible to obtain information from very different sources; from user owned data to diverse feeds in internet, including social media data, real time or historical financial information, images, news, search queries and many more. Impure is a tool to be in touch with data around internet, to deeply understand it. Within a modular logic interface you can quickly link information to operators, controls and visualization methods, bringing all the power of the comprehension of information and knowledge to the not programmers that want to work with information in a professional way.
