Names Of The WTC Memorial, Organized By The Algorithm

Obama today joined thousands of people to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center site in New York, laying his hand on a bronze monument bears the names of the victims - a list organized by algorithm.

The 2983 names of 76 bronze panels around two swimming pools with waterfalls in the towers stood, in the design of architect Michael Arad "The absence of reflection." In a list of apparently random panels of those who died September 11, 2001, and the World Trade Center bombing of February 26, 1993.

But the monument to the victims carefully thought reflects a complex network of relationships with others - professional, social, and accidentally. This happened thanks to an algorithm created by an artist data Jer Thorp in New York City local design projects.
