The Art of Data: Hand-crafted, Human-centered Dat...
summary
Hands-on workshop on small data that builds physical artifacts from five preselected datasets using markers, stickers, yarn and simple visual encodings to force choices and reveal patterns; exercises include a five-minute data-portrait and a collaborative data mural with a 15-minute gallery. Claims that embodied visualizations increase empathy and community engagement are tested by practice rather than theory; surprising numbers cited include 63% of Americans misinterpret scatter plots and charity responses roughly double when shown one person versus statistics.
