WTF Visualizations

IEEE VIS 2013 Visualización De Datos | visual thinking El ‘Big data‘ y su visualización se han puesto de moda. En la Sociedad de la Información cada vez contamos cada vez con más datos que hay que capturar, almacenar, analizar y visualizar para discernir lo importante de lo accesorio, y obtener de todos ellos un mejor conocimiento en un área específica. En torno a esta idea han surgido nuevas ideas de negocio, como puede ser la minería de datos (‘data mining’), y, asociada a ella, otras para analizar la información y reforzar las conclusiones obtenidas mediante la visualización de esos datos. Un ejemplo claro de esta tendencia lo encontramos en el siguiente vídeo del BBVA Innovation Center. Una visualización de datos, realizada junto con el MIT, en la que se puede apreciar, minuto a minuto, lo qué ocurrió en España durante la pasada Semana Santa 2011.

40 must-see videos about data visualization and infographics Our selection of keynotes, TED Talks and interviews by some of the top names in the field (The Joy of Stats, by Hans Rolling, one of the must-see videos) After the success of our collection of data visualization presentations a few weeks ago, we decided to push even further our research of multimedia resources and take the risk of selecting some videos. And we say risk, because the abundance of data visualization videos on the Internet is simply mind-blowing. Just think about it: How many events are there about information visualization? That means that a lot of good stuff was left behind, so apologies for that – but feel free to leave your recommendations in the comments section. [Update: We are receiving some great suggestions of other videos worth watching, so we'll keep growing this list. Journalism in the Age of Data The famous video by Geoff McGhee. The Data Journalism Handbook Shan Carter | Geoff McGhee | Edward Segel at Data Vis Meetup Another classic. Jer Thorp: Make data more human
