The Hierarchy of Digital Distraction - Information Is Beautiful - David McCandlessVery honoured that the Hierarchy of Digital Distractions features in the latest exhibition at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York.

"Talk To Me", curated by the legendary Paola Antonelli, explores how innovations in communication design are transforming our lives. It features interactive objects, data visualizations, and brain-blending guerilla tech projects.

The Hierarchy Of Digital Distractions explores and visualizes the subtle, invisible structure I use to prioritize one digital distraction over another. Check out its page on MoMA and press some buttons. (if you tweet, use #ttmhierarchy).

limited edition prints

To celebrate, I've created a batch limited edition prints. Oh man – they're gorgeous.

I thought it would be ironic to render such a technological-themed viz with the really old-school "risograph" print technique. It produces a really grainy, smudgy, soulful 'old-school' look. (Thanks to HatoPress in London for their awesomely detailed work).

Look at that!

(They're also super eco-friendly: printed on recycled art paper with soy-based inks.)
