The Serious Relationship of Art and Technology. Both technology and art define and continue to reshape the world we live in.

Re-imagining what we know as real or as a solid ground, pushes not only our opinions and understandings of nature to the limits, but with new inventions and experiments, both the mind and the body, the language, and the world itself seems to be making room for a new sphere and new rules. Governed by the new aesthetics, the virtual, the scientific and the logic that is beyond belief, technology in art challenges our perceptions and that is what creativity and science are all about.

But an emerging breed of data analytics software holds out the promise of making everyone in the enterprise a data scientist, or at least able to manipulate data to do their jobs better without relying on IT or a team of full-time (and sometimes scarce) data analysts.

What these vendors offer is the opportunity for enterprise employees to customize their big data needs and personalize data for themselves or their business unit. Screenshot by Looker.

It’s no secret that the typical Internet user quickly bounces from site to site while shuffling among multiple tabs and windows. With the added distraction from smartphones, TV, and print media, it can be tough to get focused attention. But time spent on the Internet is valuable—especially for marketers and advertisers, who covet each and every second a user’s eyeballs are glued to the screen. In order to better understand how Internet users view and understand infographics, we asked Dr. Rosenholtz and her team have developed a process that reveals how the human brain uses peripheral vision to view images.
