While visual thesaurus, found at www.visualthesaurus.com, may not seem like art, it comes across as art in terms of its visual representation of words and their associations to other words. Markings in a color and line style key denote synonyms, antonyms, representations of verbs or nouns, etc.
I really like this, and think that it can have so many practical uses, especially in education. The visual representations of like and expressively unalike, and how close each word is to another would really help struggling students who learn better visually than they do when hearing it, or having to read and make conclusions on their own.
When you scroll down the site, you can see that they have words lists, which take buzzwords and show them and their counterpart words visually, in close proximity to each other. I think I could spend days just looking at the letters and words as images.
