The document summarizes a group project investigating how moods change throughout the week at different times of day. The group collected mood rating data from 10 people in the Eastern Suburbs at 10am and 3pm from Monday to Friday. They created a visualization of the findings in the form of two bar graphs comparing the average mood ratings at each time slot. The graphs revealed that moods tended to be higher at 3pm than 10am, and varied slightly day to day with some differences between individuals. The visualization made patterns in the subjective mood data objectively visible.

1. ARTS 2090 Task 2
Making Something Invisible Visible
Group Members: Georgia, Stephanie, Kallie

2. The nature of contemporary
visualisation
 The process of making something invisible visible
 The production of data-based images and data
graphics
 They reveal patterns and clusters
 Visualisations give a persuasive approach to the
data

3. In which publics do visualisations
intervene?
 Climate science, politics, psychology, economics,
education, and the government
 Visualisations are a form of control
 “If I can see it, I can control it”
 Can also be used to negative effect
 Important to consider the ethical boundaries that
protect individual privacy

4. What are we making visible?
 Information Graphic: Moods in relation to time.
 We asked ten people in the Eastern Suburbs from
Monday to Friday at both 10am-3pm their mood.
 Based on a scale 10- Ecstatic
1- Very low

5. Creating it or making it
visible?
 Moods will always pre-exist
 They are both deeply private and subjective
 Creating a tangible recollection of how moods are
impacted by external factors such as time.
