Some may not consider this art but I do. It's indicative of the type of design I teach and the impact research of various types is having on art. Aesthetically speaking it is simply beautiful:

This map is an American snapshot; it provides an accessible visualization of geographic distribution, population density, and racial diversity of the American people in every neighborhood in the entire country. The map displays 308,745,538 dots, one for each person residing in the United States at the location they were counted during the 2010 Census. Each dot is color-coded by the individual's race and ethnicity. The map is presented in both black and white and full color versions. In the color version, each dot is color-coded by race.

That is fascinating. Thanks for sharing, I have bookmarked and may spend hours looking at this, focusing in on different areas.
