For the past few weeks I’ve been working on data visualisations for an exhibition that opens today in the House of Commons, London. The exhibition relates to a memorial to the aircrew of RAF Bomber Command who gave their lives in World War Two, which is currently being built in Green Park, London, and opens this year. This is a project of great personal interest to me and one that contains an extraordinary amount of data, and pertinent to the area in which I live and work, Lincoln.

How and why you should do data journalism

http://gigaom.com/2012/04/30/how-and-why-you-should-do-data-journalism/ One of the big areas of focus for technology companies over the past year has been “big data” — in other words, the idea that there can be a lot of value in finding patterns in the massive quantities of user data and other information that a business generates. This has a corollary in journalism too: namely, the growing realization that there is a lot of value in finding patterns in news-related information . This weekend saw the launch of an e-book that could be a useful resource for anyone planning to explore that field: The Data Journalism Handbook .

Looking 4 data visualization

Last week I attended the Association of American Geographers Annual Conference and heard a talk by Robert Groves , Director of the US Census Bureau. Aside the impressiveness of the bureau’s work I was struck by how Groves conceived of visualisations as requiring either fast thinking or slow thinking . http://spatialanalysis.co.uk/2012/03/fast-thinking-slow-thinking-visualisation/

Fast Thinking and Slow Thinking Visualisation

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/08/02/data-visualization-modern-approaches/ Data presentation can be beautiful, elegant and descriptive. There is a variety of conventional ways to visualize data – tables, histograms, pie charts and bar graphs are being used every day, in every project and on every possible occasion. However, to convey a message to your readers effectively, sometimes you need more than just a simple pie chart of your results.

We Feel Fine / Movements

Movements We Feel Fine is divided into six discrete movements, each illuminating a different aspect of the chosen population.
A new visualization Bruce Herr and I recently completed is being featured in this week’s New Scientist Magazine (the article is free online, minus the viz). They did a good job jazzing up the language used to describe the viz–’power struggle’, ‘bubbling mass’, ‘blitzed articles’–but they also dumbed down the technical accomplishments. I guess not everyone gets as excited about algorithms as I do.
