Courtesy of IBM Watson Research Center's Collaborative User Experience Group, this is a visualization of the edits to the Wikipedia entry on 'Evolution'. Different colors are different contributors and the height reflects the word count. Seems like a piece of art to me.

  2. That's just cool.

    I printed it out and its on my wall.

    Wikipedia is still largely misunderstood, and I think there are large portions of the academic community that aren't sensitive to its implication for our frameworks of power and knowledge.
