    I’ve just recently began learning about and exploring data visualization and I have to say that Jonathan Harris is one of the best that I’ve come across.

    This is a beautiful piece. But, since it is also an attempt at information visualization, I have to ask: what does it teach us? Or is its aim solely aesthetic?

    This was my favourite data visualization in the Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition. Sad that it was rotated out so quickly but I was glad to have gone before it closed.

    Asi es! Para variar hacen refritos.. Soy Mexicano, pero detesto que gruperos, duranguenses (que es la moda), banda y demàs hagan sus estupideces de refritos. Y como “es el folklor” y lo que nos representa, mundialmente nos ven como perdedores POR SEMEJANTE ESTUPIDES, y ahora PEOR por el Cover Adaptaciòn de Te vi llorando! MALDITOS!!
