Creative Visualizations of Our Collective Lives
Joy Mountford, formerly of Yahoo!
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. Surprising insights surface through looking at our ‘data life’ in new ways, and may compel us to design in different, even better ways.
