Bruce Mau’s Smart Art-School Logo Is A Mini Art Gallery For Student Work

The logo you see here belongs to OCAD University, Canada's leading art and design school.

Planetary, a free iPad app from the data-artists at Bloom, is jaw-droppingly, eye-poppingly gorgeous. It analyzes your iTunes music library and visualizes it as a 3D galaxy, where artists become stars that form constellations, albums are planets orbiting those stars, and individual tracks are moons that spin around the planets.

The results of Hill's analysis are presented in a series of infographics created by Doogie Horner.
