fleshmap



taken from information aesthetics

an online visualization designed by Fernanda Viegas, Martin Wattenberg & the crowdsourcing specialists at Dolores Labs, which explores the relationship between the body & its visual & verbal representation.

the Touch body heatmap investigates the collective perception of erogenous zones, based on the input of 100s of people that ranked how good it would feel to touch or be touched by a lover in different points of the body.

the Look interface analyzes the individuality and hidden surprises that each body reveals when bared by abstracting & categorizing visual forms of male nipples & female breasts.

the Listen interface charts how often a specific body part is mentioned in different music genres genre, based on a sample of 1000s songs.

i love how hip hop is all ass, hahah. hooray, info arch!
it's interesting how no one ridiculously enjoys being touched on their butt, but hip-hop is all about wanting to touch "ass". shows what they know. regardless, fascinating.
kinda nsfw.
