See what can be done with statistics

The other night when I was working my night shift, Paula Sanders showed me this really cool site that makes use of statistics, computing and art.

Some representations of statistical data have animations. We were especially awed by the Walmart stores growth and the immigration to the United States over the past hundred years.

We marvelled at the interdisciplinary approach to data--using creativity and intelligence to represent the same statistic.
