I like computer generated graphics, but if can be generated by real data and can improve some insight I say: WOW look this! Last day I saw Michael Ogawa's works about how some codes had an evolution, I think he is using the data captured in the CVS, parsed and input to create a really amazing animations. He worked with Eclipse, Python, PostgreSQL and Apache, which are good examples of open source projects with many releases and people coding. Eclipse required HD because the enormous data.
