Joy Mountford at BayCHI: Visualizations of Our Collective LivesBayCHI
The lines between art, design, and information are dissolving as we experience new places and objects. Consider, for example, the organic flow of air traffic over North America at daybreak, the bursts of search query memes spreading around the globe, and the pointillist surge of mobile phone usage on New Year's Eve. Using the new techniques of generative data visualization, a new generation of artist/designers/engineer/scientists are creating gorgeous, dynamic experiences driven by massive sets of data about our own lives. Their work comes to life in architectural spaces, on walls of wood and metal and light and shimmering glass clouds suspended overhead. Of course it must be touched to be appreciated and engaged with, simple gestures launch a thousand images and possibilities. Many of these projects have received international recognition. They are primarily 3D applications that can run in real time, but really can only be appreciated by watching them, as movies. These data movies aim to make information easier to understand while being enjoyable to watch. Surprising insights surface through looking at our 'data life' in new ways, and may compel us to design in different, even better ways.
Exploring Community Engagement with OpenTreeMapAzavea
On Tuesday, June 12, we hosted "Exploring Community Engagement with OpenTreeMap," a webinar that provided an introduction to the public engagement features in OpenTreeMap, the open source system for collaborative tree inventory. Kelaine Vargas from Urban Forest Map and Phil Silva from TreeKIT joined us to discuss their experiences with community urban forestry initiatives, particularly in terms of the accuracy of citizen generated data and encouraging long-term engagement in tree care.

Visualizacion de la Infomación. De los datos al conocimiento.Ignasi Alcalde
La visualización de la información es un disciplina realmente fascinante cuyo interés no ha hecho más que despegar. Si por ejemplo buscamos infographics o data visualization en internet podremos comprobar que el interés crece día a día. Mires donde mires hay información visual que reclama tu atención. La comunicación efectiva e inmediata a través de una simple y fácil visualización prima frente a largos textos de compleja asimilación. Pero… ¿Qué es realmente la visualización de la información? En tus manos tienes una obra práctica que te ayudará a introducirte en la visualización de la información, el proceso de trabajo con datos y las herramientas más comunes.

Design activity framework for visualization designDominika Mazur
An important aspect in visualization design is the connection between what a designer does and the decisions the designer makes. Existing design process models, however, do not explicitly link back to models for visualization design decisions. We bridge this gap by introducing the design activity framework, a process model that explicitly connects to the nested model, a well-known visualization design decision model. The framework includes four overlapping activities that characterize the design process, with each activity explicating outcomes related to the nested model. Additionally, we describe and characterize a list of exemplar methods and how they overlap among these activities. The design activity framework is the result of reflective discussions from a collaboration on a visualization redesign project, the details of which we describe to ground the framework in a real-world design process. Lastly, from this redesign project we provide several research outcomes in the domain of cybersecurity, including an extended data abstraction and rich opportunities for future visualization research.

For Beyond the Black Box, University of Edinburgh, February 2017
As the datasets used by humanists become ever larger and more readily accessible, the ability to render and interpret overwhelmingly large amounts of information in graphically literate ways has become an increasingly important part of the researcher’s skillset. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the core principles of scholarly data visualisation and shown how to use a variety of visualisation tools.
Visualisations may sound like the opposite of a black box, as they display the data provided. However, aside from 'truthiness' of things on a screen, lots of invisible algorithmic decisions affect what appears on the screen. Data used in visualisations is increasingly generated algorithmically rather than manually. What choices is software making for you, and whose world view do they reflect? Algorithms are choices - if you can't read the source code or access the learned model, how can you understand them?
Introduction to information visualisation for humanities PhDsMia
Training workshop for the CHASE Arts and Humanities in the Digital Age programme. (
This session will give you an overview of a variety of techniques and tools available for data visualisation and analysis in the humanities. You will learn about common types of visualisations and the role of exploratory and explanatory visualisations, explore examples of scholarly visualisations, try some visualisation tools, and know where to find further information about analysing and building data visualisations.
"Big Data" is term heard more and more in industry – but what does it really mean? There is a vagueness to the term reminiscent of that experienced in the early days of cloud computing. This has led to a number of implications for various industries and enterprises. These range from identifying the actual skills needed to recruit talent to articulating the requirements of a "big data" project. Secondary implications include difficulties in finding solutions that are appropriate to the problems at hand – versus solutions looking for problems. This presentation will take a look at Big Data and offer the audience with some considerations they may use immediately to assess the use of analytics in solving their problems.
The talk begins with an idea of how big "Big Data" can be. This leads to an appreciation of how important "Management Questions" are to assessing analytic needs. The fields of data and analysis have become extremely important and impact nearly all facets of life and business. During the talk we will look at the two pillars of Big Data – Data Warehousing and Predictive Analytics. Then we will explore the open source tools and datasets available to NATO action officers to work in this domain. Use cases relevant to NATO will be explored with the purpose of show where analytics lies hidden within many of the day-to-day problems of enterprises. The presentation will close with a look at the future. Advances in the area of semantic technologies continue. The much acclaimed consultants at Gartner listed Big Data and Semantic Technologies as the first- and third-ranked top technology trends to modernize information management in the coming decade. They note there is an incredible value "locked inside all this ungoverned and underused information." HQ SACT can leverage this powerful analytic approach to capture requirement trends when establishing acquisition strategies, monitor Priority Shortfall Areas, prepare solicitations, and retrieve meaningful data from archives.

2. Dealing with Data
Explosion of Electronic Information
• 2003 estimate: 5 exabytes/day* new info
• Open government/transparency movements
• E-commerce, electronic record-keeping
• Digitization of media (photos, music, books...)
• Remote sensors, RFID tags, POS systems
• Plummeting Cost of Storage
• Data formats (XML, JSON, RDF… ), APIs
• Social media
* Exabyte = 1 million terabytes
3. Dealing with Data
The Promise of Data Visualization
Using the Eye-Brain Connection
• Bypass language centers, go direct to
the visual cortex
• Leverage ability to recognize patterns,
visual sense-making
• Powerful graphics chips enable
animation, live data processing possible

5. Roles of Data Visualization
Visualizing New Information
• Data that reveals previously unknown
insights into patterns of life
• Visualization as a way to “throw things
on the wall” and examine
Google N-Gram Viewer • Things that used to be unknown,
unknowable, or impractical to know
• Less about visualization than the data

• Can be about storytelling, but more likely:
the visual format brings out something
new from existing knowledge
• Some of the most artful and striking
visualizations come from this category
• Can take more aesthetic risks
27. Roles of Data Visualization
Investigation and Advocacy
• Both an analytical and communications
format
• Data mining and analysis help uncover
important trends, stories
• Persuasiveness of graphic forms can be
used for transparency or persuasion
