Data Exploration: Random Notes and Thoughts

Just some random text bits 

Information are not just designed with code. Everything matters (Bruce Man).

Science is the area which defines how to generate knowledge. But information visualization also involves designers in order to allow the user to discover patterns. The designer creates visual layouts, supports the user in doing so.
“the lates software offers a dazzling amount of tools to give shape and meaning to a massive amount of data. We have to be careful that a tool doesn not become the message, and that we still allow the possibility  to point us to new ways of thinking (Visual Storytelling, 2012, p.59).

How can you fill technically boring data with life?
How can we Visually map computer mediated communication?

-       Mapping Social behavior generated from Search engines Queries.

-       Mapping emotions. Mapping emotions of and about an issue.

-       Mapping emotions with twitter.

-       Mapping emotions with bing.

-       Mapping emotions from networks.

Mapping Emotions ! 

Focus on exploring interaction of narrative visualization of publicly available data driven by the user including data of the public personae in the real time data polis.

Interactive visualisations allow users to manipulate the display, introducing design decisions that do not apply to non-interactive media.

Which balance do we need in the combination between author- and reader driven experiences to allow making sense out of public data and to minimize the distortion and manipulation of the truth.
Mindful relection of emotions? How can we enable randomness in this context?
