What is Data Visualisation?

Visualisation is an increasingly important part of making sense of our highly networked, data-rich world. Using a combination of interpretive methods and representational techniques, we will explore various ways visualisation can make invisible relationships, structures, and stories visible. Drawing inspiration from the history of visualisation, the principles of interactive media, and the foundations of graphic design, we will learn how to extend the capabilities of ordinary perception to tell stories and draw insight from information.

What will you learn?

• how to collect, classify, and encode data


• the foundations of data visualisation


• using metaphor, visual relationships, and interaction to make meaning out of data


• skills to tell a story with data


• analog and digital techniques for making visualisations

How will you learn it?

During this 5 day workshop, we will use analog and digital techniques to practice creating compelling data visualisations using a variety of data. We will learn how to collect, classify, encode, and display data and construct relationships and meaning. The course will involve drawing, prototyping, and programming using data.
