Storytelling with Big Data: Thoughts on VISUALIZED
The emphasis is now on the injection of humanity into the numbers in a more sophisticated and meaningful way. One thing is for sure, there are a lot of inspiring data visualizers in the world doing just that, in very memorable ways.
As an attendee at the inaugural VISUALIZED conference last week in New York City, I was ready to experience, as the website described, "an inspiring two-day gathering with the brightest minds and social innovators from around the world who are changing how we understand and interact with data; and gain insight into designing data-driven narratives that connect with audiences and visualize the human experience."
The event certainly delivered on that promise. With a rapid-fire lineup of 32 speakers over two days, things skewed interestingly–but perhaps not surprisingly–towards the experimental. Or perhaps those are the presentations that made the biggest impact on me among several days of maps, network diagrams, dynamic charts and bubble diagrams.
