Sharing the video of Manuel Lima talking about his project Visual Complexity. Sharing some highlighted aspects of his presentation (hilights which I'm sure will be changing along with my study on the subject).
+ The challenge behind Visual Complexity is making sense of data in any field we can think of.
+ Interactivity becomes very importante in data visualization (dataviz), because it allows you to cut information in portions visible at a single time, protecting the user from the overwhelming feeling of information overload.
+ Artists are going deep into programing, creating applications that engage the audiences, making the system more understandable and more interesting visually.
+ Aesthetics is an outcome of a dataviz project, being its goal to make a certain system more undersandable, which is different from digital art.
Regresso ao trabalho após as férias de Agosto, de Sol, Mar, amigos, cinema, música, passeios, compras, gelados, contemplar horizontes. Mais um livro cuja leitura será essencial para o trabalho de tese.
1) Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information, do autor Português Manuel Lima
Visual Complexity é o site criado por Manuel Lima, um espaço com interesse em ser um recurso para todos os interessados em visualização de redes complexas. Através da sua página pessoal e deste site podemos ainda acompanhar o trabalho que desenvolveu no mestrado Fine Arts Design and Technology, em Nova York.
