Part of the point of visiting any sculpture park is to see it in different seasons with different lighting. This is a different picture when there are clouds. What about snow?

Good day collectors! It's Sara at the helm here. Jen had a brief break last week and is back to business-in-the-name-of-art and soon to be Boston-bound, so I'm filling in. Jen was so bummed she wasn't able to write this newsletter herself that she picked up a *phone* to talk about Chad's work. That's right, we did not have an IM conversation but actually spoke.
We were introduced to talented Minneapolis-based designer Chad Hagen by design writer Allison Arieff. She recently featured Chad's work in her NYT By Design column— not the first 20x200 artist to be seen both here and there—hopefully not the last!
As Allison highlighted, "good design can make the nonsensical beautiful and what seems to be nonsense... clear." Nonsensical Infographic No. 1 and Nonsensical Infographic No. 2 are indeed beautiful representations of the far end of the scale of useful information, in that they are not relaying any data. There are, of course, infographics out there that actually impart handy stats and figures: GOOD Magazine's pages are illustrated with transparencies that dissect and evaluate all of our social, political and environmental advancements and failures. Edward Tufte is likely the king of information design, giving us glorious works to examine and interpret, paving a pristine path for info design junkies and experts alike. And, Ben Fry deftly harnesses complex information into elegant, intelligent graphs.
Nearing Chad's end of the nonsense-scale is Andrew Kuo with his music-related analyses of the last summer of pool shows at McCarren Park and top albums of 2009 for The New York Times. But Chad's drawings delve furthest into the complete nonsense spectrum of info design, most akin to this diagram that explicates the origins of mythical creatures. Like these animals, Chad's diagrams are completely fictitious—whatever information they may convey is up to us to determine. Fun little game, no? Let's give it a go.
While the numbers and letters in Nonsensical Infographic No. 1 do not align, I'd like to think that this graphic may be tracking the intricate lives of bees and honeycomb production. Also possibly plausible: the graphic is an analysis of the parallel increase in anxiety levels of Tetris players and the speed at which each geometric shape falls. Non-stop puzzle action can be intense!
I am particularly pleased by the potential use for Nonsensical Infographic No. 2: documentation of the lifespan of a bubble. Perhaps, as indicated by the past, present and future aspects, Willy Wonka is in the process of manufacturing new, more durable bubbles that may float for minutes or hours instead of seconds, before bursting. The world would become like that anti-tobacco commercial, only better.
Because of the conversation in the office this morning, I'm wondering if the round diagrams might instead measure the density of fried bologna as its edible chemicals are processed over time. It's one of those foods that would still be on grocery shelves, post-apocalypse right? The future would be a relevant indicator were this indeed the story told by Nonsensical Infographic No. 2.
Nothing like a little nonsense on a Tuesday afternoon, is there? Now get back to work!

I spent a beautiful morning sketching away in the new home office.
A list of room contents:
* laptop
* bookshelf
* backless Aeron knockoff
* a very solid table from Loft Living
* 11" x 17" grid paper sold on Edward Tufte's website
* blank pad of sketching paper
* Sharpie marker
* my Moleskine folio (as documented here)
* cup of Starbucks instant coffee
* IKEA desk lamp
source image.. An interactive, clickable, version can be found here. This diagram appears in Tufte's latest book.
The home office is already humming along.
I may not always use the same tools or in the same order - I'm pretty loose about process. In fact, I really only care which tools I use for the right task, to the point that I created an entire all-day workshop called Toolbox: toolboxevent.com
This comment about Edward Tufte's presentation at PayPal got my attention. This is what I call presentationism: focussing on the details of the presentation instead of the content.
BTW, ET had just finished a full-day seminar, which is why he was visibly tired at the beginning of the talk. I assume that his slow start is what the commenter called "boring," since the content was exciting: how to think better by reducing clutter.
Once the adrenaline/oxygenation got going, he became more animated, and the Q&A session was fantastic, starting with the ill-advised question "What do you think of Infographics?" to which ET responded [unsurprisingly to his students] "the technical term is they suck!"
From 2014, made by Tufte. It's no longer on the FNAL campus.
For the non-scientists: the art on the camper is an example of Feynman Diagrams.
Today 6th March is the UK version of world book day (info). So here are some books.
When Santa sees you have a camera which you evidently can't use very well, he tends to bring you stuff on photography.
Some of the books here are better than others. The fifth one up, that you can hardly see, is "Michael Freeman's Photo School: Portrait" — that's one of the good ones.
Otherwise, the Hockney book explains how artists like Caravaggio and van Eyck used lenses and mirrors to help create their paintings. And Tufte (6th one down) deals with aspects of graphic design, going well beyond just cooking up spicier pie-charts. The one below it with the unreadable title is Martin Parr's "Luxury".
I transcribed some of what Tufte said during the memorial. It was a really moving defense of Aaron and an interesting piece of hacker lore from Tufte's own past:
danwin.com/2013/01/edward-tufte-aaron-swartz-marvelously-...
Itâs no secret that we live in a data driven world: a world where technology has allowed us to get to the point where, according to IBM, more than 90% of the worldâs data was created in the last two years alone. It is a phenomenon that has led to the emergence of data science and data scientists, the increased need for statisticians, and experts in informational design such as Edward Tufte, fellow of the American Statistical Organization.
The problem is that the massive amount of data that we generate is difficult to keep up with, access, comprehend, and thus effectively use to our benefit.
The Purpose of Data Visualization:
Emerging heavily as a result within the last few years are data visualization tools, designed to help us work more effectively with data.
Most of us interpret and understand information best visually and thus information visualization is often key to true comprehension. Data visualization is, as its name suggests, a visual representation of data, its main benefits being in making complex data more accessible, interpretable, and presentable. It is closely related to the fields of information visualization, information graphics, scientific visualization, and statistical graphics.
David McCandless, London based author, data journalist, information designer, and founder of the website Information is Beautiful acknowledges that, in an age where we are often plagued by âinformation overload,â in addition to looking really cool, visualizing information allows us to see patterns and connections that matter and thus design information to make more sense, to focus only on the information thatâs important, and to tell stories.
Challenges and Limitations of Data Visualization Tools:
The challenge in not only recognizing the value in big data, but in actually making use of it, lies in the ability to effectively understand it. There are some obvious limitations when it comes to using data visualization tools to decode your data and actually benefit from the results.
The original ZoomCharts team recognized these limitations. There was no data visualization library available where data could be explored interactively on all modern devices. What was out there was either data visualization tools where data could be displayed on modern devices in static visualizations, or where it could be displayed interactively, but not on all modern devices.
How ZoomCharts Aimed to Solve These Issues:
The story of how ZoomCharts got started began with recognizing the limitations of simply working with current technology, and not anticipating the needs and desires arising with the advancement of newer and future technologies. The teamâs focus thus became creating charts and graphs that would be supported by the technology of tomorrow. The resulting software:
⢠Is 100% interactive and responsive, allowing users to see only the information they need, and drill down further into the data when necessary
⢠Is able to support massive data sets
⢠Works with any modern device, including tablets, phones, and other mobile devices that use touch screens, giving users the ability to tap, swipe, and pinch their way to exploring the intricacies of their data
⢠Performs at incredibly fast speeds, with no lag or waiting time involved when making changes to data presentation, even with big data sets

Edward Tufte, guru of information design, speaks at Stanford on December 2, 2006.
To find out what he talked about, read my entry on "Edward Tufte's Personal Utopia"
Someone call Edward Tufte, this is the single worst graph ever. Neither the X or Y axis have any meaning whatsoever.

Ran into infographics guru Edward Tufte at his new gallery, ET Modern, during the Chelsea Art Walk on a Thursday night. He was in his office and saw us looking at his fish sculpture.
On Saturdays, he is around to give tours of his work. You can also see some of his work on his website.
Edward Tufte is coming to Minneapolis for a conference that Mrs. Mamluke will be attending so I'm hoping to get this bad boy autographed :-)
Single page cheatsheet attempting to capture Edward Tufte's 6 (or 7) principles of presenting information as evidence. Based on how he articulated them at a an IQ2 talk held on the 19th of May 2010 at the RGS.
Session title: Designing Around CSS.
Session abstract: CSS radically changes the way we can alter the presentation of our documents. As designers, though, we sometimes limit our designs by taking CSS properties at their face value. In this session, walk through how to take various strategies for working with CSS to create a rich visual presentation out of everyday markup.

CLASS: Information Design w/ Prof Craig Steen
Poster 1 of 5.
The set will examine the entire life cycle of Starbucks coffee-- this first poster looks only at the raw materials.
**The type in the upper right will be treated with more care. This is supposed to be the "rough sketch" phase. Obviously I got carried away.

Seminar on effective information design, given by Edward Tufte. Very nice class, will be interesting to see how I can apply his stuff to my work.
In accordance with the pedagogy of less matter, more form, Edward Tufte has developed a principle of maximizing the ratio of data-ink to non-data-ink. Tufte reviles Microsoft PowerPoint and what he calls ‘chartjunk’ because he believes they exist to serve the guide rather than the percipient – chartjunk in its senseless and confusing artistry and PowerPoint in its attempt to present an objectivity and neutrality associated with science and technology. Though a map’s hierarchy is not as formally linear as a PowerPoint presentation, the reader is confined to a box in which freedom of leisure to explore the space around you is cut off by the mapmaker’s distorted proportions, or attempts to rationalize ‘the infinitude of the irrational.’
I was in Montpellier in the summertime, when the city is crowded with tourists and lush urban décor. I couldn’t help feeling the city’s map, packed with flashy icons, reflected the claustrophobic confusion of too much – too many people, too many spaces, too many objects, too much shopping. Though the current fashion might be a move toward a Tufteian minimalism, I cannot help acknowledge an anxious beauty in twisting through the labyrinths of Montpellier’s chartjunk and allowing the sprawl of urban parade whisk me into what Saul Below referred to as “a humanity bath.” Materially, I experience the same euphoric warmth in creeping narrow hallways, worming staircases, and forgotten rooms tucked away in lost corners of a large house pre-existing Frank Lloyd Wright’s opening of interior into a minimal calm.
This picture of Edward Tufte, graphics guru, is made with sparklines, small wiggly graph-lines that show data. Here, the data consists of numbers between 0 and 1; when graphed, the numbers convey the original meaning of the data. (Mathematica)

I don't make a habit of shooting other artist's work, but I think it's okay if I credit the artist.
I boosted the color a bit, and played with the dynamic range.
Found by Kris Hedblom is this Pi Megalith that was built by Edward Tufte (noted author of The Visual Display of Quantitative Information; Envisioning Information; Beautiful Evidence). Tufte’s sculptures at his Hogpen Hill Farms (in Woodbury, Connecticut) are on display once a year. (See www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/ for more information.)
