Skymall Liberation

Here is a fun way to waste a couple of hours on your next flight. Rip out all of the faces from the Skymall Catalog. You will see from all of their smiling faces that they are pleased with their liberation. The images can then be used to create data visualizations of Skymall demographics. Return the vandalized catalog to its home in the seat back in front of you for the next passenger to stumble upon. Photos on flickr here.

Non-White vs White

Men vs Women

Small to Big

Dark Hair to Light Hair

this is excellent. nothing like a very small place with no liquids and nowhere to go to get the best out of you/(us all?).

And laughing my head off.

Love the fridge door canvas.

simply wonderful information visualization.

amazing!
social research in panoptic settings.
really, if you slow down, you start go into depth -- serendipity of cognitive dissonance... (Sonali!?!)
