hi, i'm michael. this is my tumblog.

Chris Pudney's interactive visualisation of Infinite Jest

The main ideas I was interested in visualizing were what happened, when, and who was present.  The whenquestion is particularly interesting due to Wallace’s use of Subsidised Time.  It became clear as I was preparing the data that much of the book is set during the Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment, but I pressed on with the visualization anyway.

So cool.
