DataViz quilt – Versus
Meet Versus, my data visualization quilt mapping all 18 Penn State vs Nebraska football matchups from 1920 to 2020. Built for the University of Nebraska Data Storytelling Workshop and Data Art Jam, each 36 x 56 inch block shows home team, winner, and yellow yarn gradations for attendance. Finished Dec 31, 2024 and named Penn State Love Data Week 2025 winner.
Rolly's Take
For those who find beauty in the intersection of art and analytics, this blog speaks to a creative spirit that revels in the stories numbers tell beyond mere statistics. It captures the essence of nostalgia and rivalry, weaving together threads of history with a tactile touch that invites deeper reflection. The kind of person who appreciates the craft of quilting as much as the intricacies of data visualization will feel at home here, drawn to the unique narrative that unfolds through colors and stitches. This is a space where passion for storytelling and a love for the intricate dance of competition come together, encouraging you to see the patterns in both fabric and life.
