Karim Douieb @karimdouieb.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I came across the bizarre story of Harriet Cole. Now I can’t stop thinking about one question: What is the best way to flatten the entire human nervous system onto a 2D plane? I have no idea how I got here. 🤷🏻♂️ 100
Karim Douieb @karimdouieb.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Tonight’s dumb visual: 🦷 dental inequality in Belgium. Each tooth → a social class. Height → how often they see a dentist. Same teeth, different chances to keep them 😬 inegalites.be/L-inegalite-... 080

Karim Douieb @karimdouieb.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Color experiment. I reshuffled the pixels of famous paintings so they cluster by hue, saturation and lightness. No objects, no composition, just the hidden color structure of the artwork. 110
Karim Douieb @karimdouieb.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Four years of war in Ukraine. I designed this map for Doctors Without Borders💡Each light is a hospital location. “Lights out” marks the moment teams must switch off, evacuate, and move on as the front advances.

Karim Douieb @karimdouieb.bsky.social · 30/09/2025So here it is: my dumb data viz experiment. 🍩 ✔️ Solves the continuity problem ❌ Harder to spot patterns ❌ Hours are visually distorted But hey… not everything has to be practical, sometimes it’s just fun! 😅 Also: how cool would it be to create a physical object like this? 5294
Karim Douieb @karimdouieb.bsky.social · 30/09/2025I came across those flat climate charts where x = day of year & y = hour of day. They’re neat, but the "cut" at January & midnight always felt arbitrary. 🤔 So I thought… what if we used a torus? The perfect loop for time & seasons! 160

Karim Douieb @karimdouieb.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Thanks for this idea! They do have some graphical skills, so this could be a great way to quickly create an original design based on data and then explore their own ways to physicalize it using a variety of materials. 110

Karim Douieb @karimdouieb.bsky.social · 13/12/2024I assume you are trying to achieve a weighted voronoi diagram... If that's the case I don't think d3 offers that out of the box. But they are js libs that implement it.
