it's been a successful time for scandinavian television programmes lately but how about awards? check with our guide to international tv and radio festival award winners from 1949 onwards.• get the data• more data journalism and data visualisations from the guardianthis week bbc4 started broadcasting the bridge , a swedisf/danish co-production t it follows the success of wallander , borgen , and the killling t either there's been a massive upswing in interest for faroese wooly jumpers , or scandinavian television really has something good going for it t but where do sweden and denmark fare in the all-time television league-table?the chart above shows the share of awards won at the four main international television festivals – the international emmies , the monte carlo television festival , the prix italia , and the rose d'or festival at montreux – over the past twenty years t generally these festivals provide excellent bragging rights for british production companies t the uk generally romps home at such events , particularly at the international emmies , where us companies rather sportingly do not compete.but behind the uk , france and germany , we find denmark (population roughly equivalent to the west midlands) and sweden (population roughly equivalent to scotland , northern ireland and wales combined) t one of the most important factors in explaining the good performance of these two countries is their generous per capita funding of public broadcasting t the bridge is a co-production between public broadcasters danmarks radio and sveriges television; and both borgen and the killing were produced by danmarks radio t without this funding it would be difficult to explain why denmark should have won more awards than either japan or spain t (italy's dismal performance might be easier to explain) t the embedded google doc above lists all the international tv award winners by category and country which can be found in the spreadsheet along with wins by country.these data come from public broadcasting's continued rude health , a report for the british academy policy unit written by dr t chris hanretty t data summary download the data• data: download the full spreadsheetmore datamore data journalism and data visualisations from the guardianworld government data• search the world's government data with our gatewaydevelopment and aid data• search the world's global development data with our gatewaycan you do something with this data?• flickr please post your visualisations and mash-ups on our flickr group• contact us at data@guardian.co.uk• get the a-z of data• more at the datastore directory• follow us on twitter• like us on facebooktelevisionthe bridgeborgenthe killingdenmarfbbc4television industryawards and prizesswedenguardian.co.uk

a designer is blending information design and fine art t welcome to the work of bryan christie• more data journalism and data visualisations from the guardianthere's a thin line between information design - infographics - and art t and the best of the former manage to cross over into the latter.so it is with the work of bryan christie , a new york-based designer who wowed the famously imperturbable audience at the malofiej conference of infographic designers in spain recently with the work behind this video t it was commissioned by national geographic for this fascinating feature on the hand t ng has kindly allowed us to embed the video here.christie , who regularly produces visualisations for the new york times , has made it his mission to portray the workings of the human body.to produce a video like this one is not simple: it involves recreating the human hand , often working in multiple angles at the same time , which is how all of these 3d images are created , such as the one below for wired t the works are based on a combination of medical text books and mri scans , modelled in a virtual 3d space.says christiethe medium i work in is a new form of photography; it is both sculptural and photographic t i model the figures in digital 3d on the computer , then use a virtual camera within the computer to take a picture of the piece t there's an interesting process that occurs in that my work is sculptural and exists in virtual three-dimensional space yet in the end it is viewed in two dimensions much like a photograph t what i create exists as 1s and 0sand it's not a million miles from the hand above to works like this one.is it information design? who cares? the results are information - but they're beautiful too.more datadata journalism and data visualisations from the guardianworld government data• search the world's government data with our gatewaydevelopment and aid data• search the world's global development data with our gatewaycan you do something with this data?• flickr please post your visualisations and mash-ups on our flickr group• contact us at data@guardian.co.uk• get the a-z of data• more at the datastore directory• follow us on twitter• like us on facebookdesigndata visualisationsmedicineunited stateshuman biologysimon rogersguardian.co.uk
