Datasart

Here’s how he creates the visuals.

“This is a program I wrote that reads a source text and looks for words
that are used repeatedly. The more the word is used, the larger its
cube gets. Red cubes are words that are not unique, blue cubes are. The
size of the rings is determined by the size of the paragraphs.”
