And here is my first result - two images - created today:
Processing, a set on Flickr.
Inspired by the work of the London-based designer Stefanie Posavec, these drawings are based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy. One line is drawn for each sentence of Faust's monologue (first chapter). The length of each line is depending on the number of words per sentence. The first line is drawn to the right. After a line is drawn, or in other words the sentence is complete, the next line is drawn in a 90 degree right angle creating a drawing depicting the writing style. In the comparison of the two drawings one can easily identify differences in writing style between the two languages (German, English).
More to come...

Awesome stuff, I will try Processing asap! I ll feed it some of Thomas Mann's and Thomas Bernhard's prose, and be comparing it to Hemingway. It also inspires my neuroticism to end every piece of text I am writing from now on with a row of short sentences, as a personal trademakr, just in case anyone will ever analysze my stuff, and have one very long sentence right before the end. I'll do it. My signature. Brilliant. Yes.
