Is it about beautiful pictures?
Sooo, what is this presentation about?
“
”
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
3rd century BC, Greek saying
Baudelaire’s beauty:
data is beautiful if it is the result of reason and calculation.
Thoreau’s beauty:
data is beautiful by its very plainness.
About beautiful pictures!
Sooo, what is this presentation about?
New ways of presenting data?
Sooo, that’s it – only beautiful pictures?

The hope is that, in not too many years, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly and that the resulting partnership will think as no human
brain has ever thought and process data in a way not approached by the information-handling machines we know today.”
J.C.R. Licklider, in ‘Man-Computer Symbiosis’, March, 1960.

Often the most effective way to describe, explore and summarize a set of numbers – even a very large set – is to look at pictures of those numbers.
Edward R. Tufte in ‘Visual Display of Quantitative Information’, 2001.
