We think that the aesthetic aspects of data-visualization can be considered

as important as the data itself in helping readers get interested about a topic and triggering their curiosity to explore more

Accurat for Popular Science, May Issue Thursday 27 February 14

=

We think that aesthetic features can be considered

not only as an ornamental attribute within a data-driven visual story

Accurat for La Lettura, Corriere della SeraThursday 27 February 14

intellectually compelling and emotionally rich

=loading an analytical representation with

emotional investment can generate attention rather than distraction


=

purpose:testing what is interesting and what is not,

...what people like and what they don’t, ....what they understand and what they don’t


=

The risk we take is a constant search for beauty,

unconventional, but still beauty, to make people “wander”.
