(apologies for cross-posting) Data Visualization & Processing Workshop, by Karsten Schmidt
(toxi) Data is everywhere around
us. Through the ongoing technological developments
and digitalization, ever more aspects of our lives become subject to
scrutinizing and so become measurable. The rapidly increasing amount of data
being published online constitutes great political, cultural, artistic and
design challenges to society and individuals alike. This trend is accelerated by
the increased introduction of ubiquitous computing systems into various aspects
of our everyday. Data visualization of large datasets still is a
relative young field of design, but it also is a very necessary one. In this
world of absolute data abundance we need new means to manage, combine, analyse
& view these. We need to explore new visual languages and other forms of
_expression_ to help us cope, find patterns and gain new insights or even just
retain an overview of various topics. Over the three days of this
workshop we will explore the nature of data as much as various
techniques to visualize it. We will focus on working with Processing, but also
make use of other opensource tools & languages better suited for other parts
of the visualization creation process. Since the workshop only lasts for 3 days,
you?re expected to have a good understanding of at least the basic Processing
concepts & programming constructs. That way we can focus better on the
actual topic at hand. About Karsten
