I switched this page over to a fallback font, so you can still enjoy it. It's not 🌟full-color🌟 emoji, but oh well. Such is life. So, I used to live in California. Point is, our world is run by complex systems. That’s where simulations come in! A Tiny Forest For Tiny Trees As it turns out, forest firefighters already use computer simulations to tackle wildfires, in real time! First, emergence: complex systems can arise from simple rules. Second, all complex systems have things in common. 🌲→🔥 Trees sometimes get hit by lightning & catch on fire.
Sims can help explain a system, but they're also great for exploring systems. For example, what do you think would happen now, if you increased tree growth? And now, you get to run that experiment. A Forest With Thunderbolt & Lightning, Very Very Frightening Ah, you predicted that higher tree growth would lead to more trees. This is thinking in systems.
What Killed The Infographic? A few years ago, the Internet was awash in groundbreaking data visualizations.
There was Aaron Koblin's deeply influential map of flight patterns around the U.S. Periscopic's exhaustive, haunting portrait of gun violence in the United States.

The Creative Economy[1] is diverse, housing artists, computer programmers, architects, designers and many more. An unfortunate by-product of this diversity is that the sector lacks a clear identity, and it can be overlooked in economic debate. But the Creative Economy is extremely important to the UK: it employs 8 per cent of all workers and is growing three times faster than the rest of the economy. To shed light on this sector we have used data visualisation to answer two basic questions[2]: Where in the UK is the Creative Economy most concentrated?
