New Orleans based advertising firm Peter Mayer created this interactive data visualization site entitled Lives Connected to coincide with the end of hurricane season. It’s an interesting experiment, and ended up being quite the repository documenting the experiences of Hurricane Katrina and the people affected by it. The interface they built allows you to access 44 different peoples video-taped stories, and then connect each person by thematic association. For example Bill M. is connected to 8 others for saying he ‘feels fortunate’, while Sonya L. is connected to 12 others for talking about her pets. Fascinating to see the stories of survivors shared this way!
