Humans have a powerful capacity to process visual information, skills that date far back in our evolutionary lineage. And since the advent of science, we have employed intricate visual strategies to communicate data, often utilizing design principles that draw on these basic cognitive skills. In a modern world where we have far more data than we can process, the practice of data visualization has gained even more importance. From scientific visualization to pop infographics, designers are increasingly tasked with incorporating data into the media experience. Data has emerged as such a critical part of modern life that it has entered into the realm of art, where data-driven visual experiences challenge viewers to find personal meaning from a sea of information, a task that is increasingly present in every aspect of our information-infused lives.

In a world were with so much data where processing has become so complex, visualization has really become an important tool not only to convey ideas and make sense of it, but to generate more ideas out of the process. I remember Hans Rosling's lecture on The Joy of Stats. Oh! And also, great job as always, Off Book's crowd!

This episode of PBS Off Book had a unique feel compared to many of the previous episodes. Perhaps there was some intent previously to flood the user with information in a hope that something would stick or perhaps the addressing of a visual media data presentation technique encouraged the producers and editor to change the way they think about and present the information they want to communicate. Regardless I found it much more informative and I hope to see this style continue in the future.

It's too bad the music is louder than the dialogue as it makes it hard to understand the content. People who are hearing impaired want to benefit from the content, too.

Thinking the exact same thing. Especially in the beginning, the voices barely stand out from the ambient noise (aka music). Maybe they spent too much time on visualisation and forgot all about audio, though.

And then, of course, there is virtual reality data visualization. That could become the most important of its uses when display resolution becomes sufficient, which it has not yet begun even to approach.

Hello, every once in a while, I try to research what good data visualization is out there. I really loved Hans Ringling’s videos, combining populations, bubbles and movement in time. This video is a step in the right direction. But I want data visualization that tells shows me important information. For example, the airport air traffic visualization tells me that Miami is one of the if not the most popular air traffic areas in the United States. If anyone can help me direct me, that would be great.

Neo-Idealism. The patterns determines the concept or otherwise? If graphic data is considered under an Intention and a Cultural Code-System as expression, it's only a movement of codifying and decodifying Expressions over plataforms (what we cal data.) If its considered as able of reaching up natural phenomena synthesis and turning it into some sort of human language, it's another idealistic mistake as Math is to Quantic Physics. Point vs Space paradox, etc.

Take away the yanni music and this video is watchable. Ironic given its focus on design using only the bare essentials to communicate. Music track ruined this video. Levels were too high and distracting.
