Two amazing visualisations from Jer Thorp:
First up – 'Just Landed' – originated from a thought about the data that is hidden in various social network information streams, this visualisation finds tweets that contain the phrase 'just landed in', parses out the location they’d just landed in along with the home location they list on their Twitter profile, and maps out global travel in the twittersphere…

Just Landed – Test Render (4 hrs) from blprnt on Vimeo.
Next up, a visualisation of the UK National DNA database, the largest DNA database in the world holding profiles of 4.5 million individuals. The central graphic is a DNA strand with one dot for each of the profiles in the database, and the visual is further broken down into racial groups, age groups, and those who have been charged versus those who are ‘innocent’.
Amazing work.
