The Sheep Market - Aaron Koblin @ PICNIC08

If you know of Aaron Koblin, it’ll probably be for one of two reasons:

- You followed the online debate around Sheep Market (very big in PICNIC’s graphics this year)

- You think the video he did for Radiohead’s (amazing) House of Cards, the one that didn’t use any lights or cameras, is, well, amazing.

The way he puts it, he “Creates software that visualises data”, and believes that data systems tell stories about our lives.

All I can say is, he’s patently a genius and - after enduring a keynote with no visuals - this is all appropriately inspiring. The day gets into proper gear.
