visual culture superstar: nicholas felton.

nicholas felton is a designer slash quality human who has made some excellent work addressing the idea of visual culture. his collaboration with matt mason for "we tell stories: hard times" takes a beautiful look at how various aspects of our visual culture like technology, social networking, and more have shaped our expectations and behavior as a society.
he is perhaps most known for his series of "feltron annual reports," a graphic map of a year of his life that quantifies, compares, and analyzes his life and puts it on display, amplifying the significance of his daily minutiae. he has also developed a website called daytum that similarly allows users to select, collect, categorize, and visually organize anything from the number of flies exterminated to frequency and location of central park hot dogs consumed.
