Visualizing A Web of Data
Piece by piece, the world is moving onto the web. “Things informationalize,” as Ben Cerveny puts. How can we make sense of this new torrent of information emerging wide-eyed and blinking into the internet? Stamen Technical Directory;s Michal Migurski will show how information visualization is making it possible to comprehend a live, vast, and deep connected web of data. We’ll cover emerging work in the field as well as Stamen’s own work in the area of data and map design.

It would have been nice to see more non-map visualisations.
I’d like to see what can be done when you put these visualization skills and techniques in the context of journalism, maybe hooking up with incubators like the hyperlocal news sites oaklandnorth and missionlocal.
