How beautifully and interesting you can arrange tax records of 4 million individual Norwegian shows Even Westvang in his animation called „Deluge" [bengler.no]. Westvang, a Nowegian developer, took public data like birthrate, income and address details to illustrate how 300.000 of his compatriots are moving around in their country.
This animation reveals how public data can be analyzed to reveal potentially interesting patterns. I wonder how it would look like if you someone takes would put European migration data and make a similar animation.
