🏆 Award of Distinction · Prix Ars Electronica 2004
Marcos Weskamp and Dan Albritton's “Newsmap” was honoured with an Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2004, category Net Based Art.
Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News aggregator. A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information.
