Visualizing Meaning � About the project
Faculty at Cornell were asked: "Of the many charts (graph, map, diagram, table and ‘other’) you have seen in your life, which has been the most important, remarkable, meaningful or valuable?" This site answers that question. Very cool.

This totally and completely fits into the esoterica category. It's funny to see the graphs which folks get the most meaning out of: drawing which looks like my daughter drew it, drawing that looks like R2D2 drew it. Standard bar graph. Standard pie chart. Hilarious. And also scary. When I first read about the project I thought it might be trying to understand the kinds of signs we use to represent knowledge, but it seems more like it's reifying them. Give me one more beer and I might actually be able to explain what I just said.
