#nonrandom

A visualization of Hozier’s Wasteland, Baby! album as an undirected graph, nodes represent words and node size corresponds to the number of times that word appears in the poem. Words are connected in order with edge weight representing repeated word pairs, except for edges between song title words, which are given extra weight. Made using Gephi.

This is a reworking of a previously posted project I did in junior year of high school. I worked on data entry for hours, dreaming of a graph describing the entire poem’s structure. But “The Raven” is long, so I stopped about two and a half stanzas in, which already made a beautifully complicated looking graph. Five years later, I know how to code and now I can write programs to deal with word counting and edge making for me, and what was impossible for me then is now quick and easy. 

A visualization of a repository I’ve worked on; a planar graph showing file structure, node size representing the size of the file, edges removed.
