Manuel Lima, curador do visualcomplexity fala sobre  toda a beleza e complexidade da Data Visualization.


VisualComplexity.com (VC) is a unified resource space for anyone interested in the visualization of complex networks. With over 600 projects, the goal is to leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines, as diverse as Biology, Social Networks or the World Wide Web.

This talk will leverage the existing pool of knowledge from VC to convey a current portrait of network visualization. It will illustrate some of its current trends and representation methods, and explore the reasons behind the recent outburst. It will highlight some seminal executions and finalize with the exaltation of interactivity as the key measure of cognition in Information Visualization, by presenting a series of interaction design principles for exploring complex networks.

Manuel Lima is an interaction designer, researcher and founder of VisualComplexity.com. He holds a BFA in Industrial Design and a MFA in Design+Technology from Parsons School of Design, New York.

During the course of the MFA program Manuel worked for Siemens Corporate Research Center, the American Museum of Moving Image and Parsons Institute for Information Mapping in research projects for the National Geo-Spatial Intelligence Agency.

Abaixo o slide da apresentação.

Acabei de descobrir que o complexo e caótico conjunto de dados e redes podem ser unidos e expressos através de gráficos ordenados, elegantes e hipnoticos. É um tanto sedutor, por isso esse assunto teve a obrigação de ser meu primeiro post depois de um longo tempo. Em certa medida, no entanto, esta elegância que torna a visualização de dados tão imediatamente convincente, também representa um desafio. É possível que a tradução de dados, redes e relações em beleza visual torne-se um fim em si mesmo e se categorizare como um objeto de arte? Só o tempo poderá responder.
