Our youngest data scientist has really evolved as an artist since we've known her, using the Fathom offices as a sometimes studio when she is not travelling. She is currently experimenting with large-scale figurative works on paper, exploring the tensions between data visualization and young adult folk iconography:

Here at Fathom we're all breathing sighs of relief, having just wrapped up a project that has been in progress for the last year or so. Sadly, you'll have to wait until January to see the fruits of that labor, but in the happy lull that comes after delivering a final product, we thought it was a good time to show off some other fun recent work!

First it was an interactive touch installation. Then it was a web app. Now it's ready for the iPad! Head on over to iTunes to grab your (free!) version today.

Our newest piece for the Gates Foundation — a visualization for the Guardian showing the current state of global child mortality — went live this morning!

Not one to be outdone by Chris, I too welcomed an intern this summer! Dana's partner-in-crime Chensh was studying media at NYU and interested in design, and at first I wasn't sure what sort of skills we should focus on with such a short time together. Then she quoted Marshall McCluhan in our first meeting, and I knew we were in for something great.
