I’ll write moe about this in the future, but I attended the AIGA/NY Fresh Dialogue: IN/VISIBLE talk last evening and Fernanda Víegas demoed Many Eyes. This groundbreaking collection of data visualization tools and datasets is bound to make lots of noise as the months and years progress. Taking a youTube/wikipedia approach to democratizing data visualization and advocating its acceptance as a medium, Many Eyes allows the average joe to upload any dataset (e.g. sock colors I own) and wrap a data visualization around it (scatter-plot). The result is a fresh new way to look at the world around you – one that maybe only Andrew Kuo truly understands.
