What is information visualisation?

Communicate information

Process information

Record information

It is not…

Just about numbers

Dry and boring

Q: WHY SHOULD I VISUALISE?

The world is complex, dynamic, multidimensional; the paper is static, flat. How are we to represent the rich visual world of experience and measurement on mere flatland?

-Edward Tufte (1990)

Not New – Chauvet Caves

Sensing Flowers

Data…the new soil? (McCandless, 2010)

The language of the eye (Norretranders, 1999)

Vision > other senses (Medina, 2008)

Today? ~50M tweets per day!

When I tweet [paint], my object is to show what I have found and not what I am looking for.

-Picasso
