			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m really enjoying the work in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelpaukner/">Michæl.Paukner&#8217;s Flickr photostream</a>, which includes some of the most fantastical analytical graphics, illustrating scientific/theoretical concepts.  Most of his work is just gorgeous, bringing clarity and simplicity to what could otherwise be convoluted diagrams.  Some of my favourites are the solar eclipse and the circular periodic table of elements;</p>
<p><a title="Circular Periodic Table of Elements by Michæl.Paukner, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelpaukner/4004574065/"><img class="alignnone size-medium" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2565/4004574065_4637736aae.jpg" alt="Circular Periodic Table of Elements" /></a>Circular Periodic Table of ElementsHe’s not shy of dealing with less-rigorous concepts either, such as the hollow world theory or the ancient hebrew concept of cosmology.  Definitely worth a look-see;</p>

<p>One of the reasons’ I’m enjoying this work is the dedication to taking complex ideas and presenting them in ways that they can capture an audience and convey an idea or message in a really simple, elegant way.  It’s something I’ve been dealing with a lot in my work &#8211; somewhat as a side effect of observing people through the ‘eyes’ of buildings &#8211; which is the representation of data or information to the people who have a part in creating it.  It’s a complex challenge and I often look to graphic designers for ideas on this very subject.  Nice to see someone putting it all together in such a clean manner &#8211; not driven purely by data or image, rather a balance between the two.  Message and medium, not an easy gap to bridge.via <a href="http://kitsunenoir.com/blog">kitsunenoir</a>J</p>
