Words from The Origin of Species - Computational Information Design - YOW 2010 Melbourne
Computational Information Design
The ability to collect and store data continues to increase, but our ability to understand it remains unchanged. Data visualization makes use of our evolutionary proclivity for decoding visual images and employs this ability as a high-bandwidth means of getting data into our heads. In this talk, I'll present work I've developed ranging from illustrations of data for magazines and journals to software tools used by geneticists to interactive applications for Fortune 10 companies.
Keywords: Design, Visualization, InformationDesign, Processing, Java, VisualWeb, JavaScript
Target Audience: Anyone interested in understanding the mess of data around us.
