On Interpreting visualization, notes:
Representational versus knowledge generating and the ways in which calculations and dynamic information create new relationship and thus new interpretations as opposed to static information.
Driving influencers, industry, record keeping and observation.
What is the most humanistic visual form?
Mapping and charting of scientific and philosophical "belief systems" during the late Rennaissance and early Enlightenment periods are indicators of how
visual forms become essential to intellectual inquiry.
Most interesting are the explorations of mapping hierarchy and how structure an dform lend themselves to either establish an organic holistic one, or the ways in which structure and slection create transformative hierchies based on data sets and behavior.
Structure, style, form, calculation and transformation, lend themselves to the final interpretation of visual forms, of which both creator and observer are active participants.
Continuity implies and organic transition whereas graphical linear interfaces- of any medium- create contrasting sensations that infers itself on the information being observed. The implicit binary relationship of contrasting forms can also be interpreted as holistic and complementary, a ying yang of elements or balancing of the scales. Which both informs the work, and the observer.
How to map and chart, holistically, continually, dynamic changing systems, whether from time, spatial, or user-generated data, and account for possibility and uncertainty within prediction?
