Circos Collaborates with Wired

When Wired needed an inforgraphic to illustrate the complex world of relationships on the TV Series Lost, it turned to Circos.

The task was to visually represent about 60 relationships shared between 35 characters. The tableviewer utility, which applies Circos to visualizing tabular data, was perfect for creating the illustration.

Circos - Circular Genome Data Visualization (600 x 600)

The project also toured in Rome, Turin and Lisbon

The Film Festival of Estoril and Volumina are pleased to announce the new staging of multimedia exhibition CHROMOSOMES by David Cronenberg. During the opening (november, 10) will be present Cronenberg, that for a moment abandons the role of director (he is working on the new film 'The Matarese Circle') to present himself as artist. Inside the Congress Center of Estoril, from 5 to 14 november, you can admire the images chosen and processed by David Cronenberg and the Volumina staff starting with original film frames from his most famous movies: The Fly, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, Crash, Spider, and the recent Eastern Promises. The exhibition, curated by Domenico De Gaetano is completed by two 10-minute videos with famous sequences from Cronenberg's movies and a bilingual catalogue. One room is entirely dedicated to the installation RED CARS, in homage to the Ferrari, based on the artbook that was realized in 2005 and on rare archival footage..
