This is an elegant and beautiful example of the kind of thing Wired was talking about in the article I mentioned earlier. Artist Todd Falkowsky has processed thousands of photographs of all the Canadian capital cities into the three most predominant colours present in each.

It’s interesting, and a sincerely impressive feat of applying technology to art and culture, and there’s not much else to it. If you’re from TO, you might recognize the cherry red of the TTC in its palette: but only if you access a preexisting model of information, boo.

Lots of compelling data, zero meaningful content.  I’m being impetuous, I realize, but I’m a politics student.  It is extremely cool.
